Re: Mission statement

Hello, Paul,

W3C's mission is to lead the World Wide Web to its full potential.

I think the longer paragraph on the W3C home page is an amplification 
of the mission statement, explaining what it means. If you need to 
state the mission, go with the short form.

Does that help?
