I hope it has not gone unnoticed that I've chosen a rather small/personal means of protesting a trend I abhor in W3C. It is summed up by Lawrence Lessig in recent alarms, including a book. The fundamental message is at http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/future/ and my semi-withdrawal from "things consortium" is a (quixotic?) tilting at what so many of my "surrogate grandchildren" have helped build: a hopeful road to inclusion - everyone, everything connected. The groups to which I still subscribe (but only minimally participate in) are central to preventing a disturbing slide by W3c towards the abyss that has swallowed many past promises. I urge each of us to do whatever is possible to stop this trend with a new dedication to inclusion. We cannot hope to "change the world" if "the world" is allowed to step into/upon our doings. We have to eat our own dog food. -- Love. It's Bad Luck to be Superstitious!
