As a long-time developer of both commercial and open-source software for graphics and video applications I would like to comment that I personally do not recognize as a standard any proposal based on royalty-based software patents, whether reasonable or otherwise. I do believe the W3C has a right to base their proposals on royalty-based patents, and I am then free to ignore them in my future work. Scott Johnston http://www.ivtools.org
