'Please could also the w3c part be removed from the name as, as far as I
understand it, it's not part of the official w3c process" -- the name of
the org is w3c-social.  Unless it's officially w3c endorsed work, and I
dont think it should be in this case, that's going to confuse people into
thinking it's somehow official.  It confused me, for example.
