That seems to be > Chaals. I'm uncomfortable with this line of reasoning. I don't think it's your place to make assumptions about Opera's internal process. If Opera wants to take an official position as a company, they can do so. What we can observe from their public actions is: they have chosen to nominate multiple representatives to this working group who don't always agree. The obvious conclusion would be that they find value in different points of view being expressed. Thus, we should evaluate the positions of different representatives on the merits unless Opera chooses to take an official corporate stance. Or to put it another way, if Chaals wants to tell Anne to STFU and get with the program, that is his job, not yours. Regards, Maciej
