I have been a "freelance" W3C evangelist for a some time now. I wrote an article, even, about how important the w3c is for web developers and the web. http://www.alistapart.com/stories/strange/ I'm very concerned about the patent issues. I only heard about this move yesterday (Sunday), am only beginning to comprehend the implications today. The text http://www.w3.org/TR/patent-policy/ is not something that can be easily read and understood in a sitting, even by me, with my excellent reading-comprehension and two English degrees. Many of us have had our lives horribly disrupted over the past few weeks. We need time to recover, we need time to comment intelligently. At least offer another six weeks. And if during that time, the peoples' response to the "draft" is overwhelmingly negative... do the right thing and ditch it. Peace, Erika Meyer http://www.seastorm.com/ --
