Even if you don't use it for your creative processes, it can still have an adverse effect on competition in the browser landscape.

That's bogus. Spec development involves value judgements all the time. Even the decision of writing standards instead of letting every implementor figure it out themselves is a value judgement. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
