I note with dismay that it is proposed to allow proprietary standards, requiring payment of royalties, to be made into W3C standards. I understand that the proposal: 1. has been produced by a small group of big businesses with no representation of ordinary web users 2. will effectively make it impossible for Free Software to implement web standards approved under such terms 3. was given inadequate publicity given the fundamental nature of the change to W3C standards it proposes. I urge the W3C to extend the consultation period and take note of the objections which have been raised. Roderick Tye rdtye@iee.org
