Although the *impression* that this is the current status remains fairly pervasive; however I will endeavor to dispel that myth as well. That said, the barrier to equal entry remains high: http://burningbird.net/node/28 (however, I will also state that Sam has offered on numerous occasions to extend help to any that requires = balanced commentary) > > Both you and Manu have exactly the same ability as Ian does in this > respect.

While I have personal reservations that this may introduce an even wider fork of opinion, making consensus down the road even harder to achieve, this is the die that has been cast. I will offer what contributions I can to both Manu and Shelly in their respective initiatives, to the best of my ability, and will leave the WHAT WG to continue propagating what I see as their mistakes and false assumptions as they see fit - they have clearly signaled that not all contributions are welcome.
