I've basically been told by W3C management and several WG chairs that
there's nothing I can do and they will continue republishing text I
wrote and licensed under CC0.

Since then I have not really followed what was happening at the
AC-level or WG level really. I heard from Dan he was going to fork URL
at some point and I told him I didn't like it. He did it anyway.

I spoke up in this thread to clarify a few points and make it clear
where I stand. At this point I don't actually expect anything to
change. Jeff has made that pretty clear to me.

I was thinking about

I forgot that David (the one at Mozilla ;-)) opted to leave this one
be https://lists.mozilla.org/pipermail/dev-platform/2014-March/003684.html
with the idea to pursue other matters.

I don't think we ever asked for CC-BY, and we did not ask for it only
for extension specifications. However, I did make a mistake of not
doing due diligence when Robin asked me a question:

wish they would have sooner verified that it was actually okay and not
days before the announcement, oh well.
