This is why people who talk on this list talk for themselves or their companies, and can discuss the contents of the public drafts or other public material on the DOM, but not the content of (for example) WG meetings. W3C policy is even not to divulge which companies take part, unless those companies have expressly stated that the information that they take part in the DOM work may be made public. And no-one says who represents any given company on the DOM, except for that company itself, since some companies don't like having that information be made public. I can understand that, since most companies wouldn't want their good, experienced developers lured away... Lauren
