That doesn't ensure competition if the things you're competing on are specific to the W3C instead of specific to a particular editor or Working Group. For instance, the WHATWG has no real process for overruling the editor, no spec milestones, and no notion of membership. Whether these are good or bad, there cannot be competition on such points within the W3C, since the W3C wouldn't allow a Working Group to do that. If it really allowed Working Groups to do absolutely anything they wanted, it would be a glorified webhost, which I don't see happening anytime soon.
