I agree.

AFAICR from Daniel Glazman?s ParisWeb 2006 conference, before W3C, IETF 
was really open too -- problem seemed to be it was too much open, but I 
don't know enough of Web history. So WHATWG may be called the ?*second* 
really open, collaborative community?. Or, to put it in a more 
optimistic light, a ??back to the origins? movement.?

I don't say so just for nitpicking, but would also appreciate feedbacks 
from people who were already there by IETF times; what are the 
difference between ?IETF time? and ?WHATWG time? in the way of working?
