Re: color: NCSA Mosaic, Netscape, and HTML3

As has already been pointed out, it's not an Academy, it's a working
group. Anyone who wants to can join, and is probably welcome. For
something to be come part of an HTML standard, three things are
needed: 1) working code; 2) A description that pretty much everyone
agrees describes the code well enough to implement from; 3) rough
consensus that said description is the way things are/should be.

So why don't you do it?  Write up something that is rigorous enough to
be considered an internet draft, and send it to the working group
(which makes you de-facto part of the working group).

The real question is: why hasn't NetScape done this?
