I don't know how much member companies are entitled to, but I was under impression that W3C is driven by ideology, not by business requirements of 3rd parties, and that W3C's ideology was much more aligned with FOSS's than RIAA/MPAA's. To be clear: I'm not saying that Web or innovation should be limited to FOSS or even W3C-approved technologies, just that W3C may not be the most appropriate place to for a spec that is intended to be an enabler for non-RF technologies. -- regards, Kornel Lesiński
