In fact, here's a serious question about this: at what point would it
have not been too late?  

If I (or the EFF) had wanted to put our oar in and do some "stopping" -
i.e., actually debate the fundamental issues rather than the
implementation - when *could* we have acted?

Please forgive my relative ignorance of W3C processes, but it's not at
all clear to me how that might have happened.  I'd certainly like to
know, for next time if nothing else.
