Ok, please help me understand. basically, the W3C is put into place to better serve the public interest. PUBLIC INTEREST, not corporate interests! here's a blurb from the W3C's own web page: " 1. Interoperability: Specifications for the Web's languages and protocols must be compatible with one another and allow (any) hardware and software used to access the Web to work together. " Whoops, looks like that will be one change that will need to be made. If the W3C is supporting the public interest, then why is the W3C PPWG created solely by big corporations? Companies like Microsoft, AT&T, Hewlett-Packard, Sun? This would be similar to America having the English write our Declaration of Independance after our victory. Come on W3C! why hasn't members from the EFF or FSF been included? Why are you letting money dominate this decision for Christ sake? maybe I should build a log cabin in British Columbia. i'm just too tired of corporate takeover, big business, greed, greed and greed.
