I can't believe W3C is moving toward killing the very open-standards
vision it enables by allowing folks from five huge companies inject
patentability into these issues?  With the lunacy of amazon.com's
patenting "one-click" ordering, I'm wondering when W3C will allow H-P to
patent this thing called "the internet"?
