To be honest, Charles, I couldn't agree with you any less -- but the topic of whether or not the W3C as an organization is a good model is off topic, so I won't debate it any more. I just think that for the wide variety of reasons you state in your own message, the W3C organization looks nothing like any of the thousands and thousands of organizations and companies out there. It's not typical at all, and conclusions about intranets derived from W3C experiences are rarely applicable to anything else. The following two points that you raise, in addition to Ann's comment about computer professionals, are enough to make it not typical: > 1. We are vendor-neutral. > 2. Interoperability is a stated goal. Well, enough on this anyway. If someone wants to argue this, please write to me offlist. -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
