You claim the public review period for SVG did not go by quietly? From the list archive: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/ we see: Total comments for August 2001: 60 Consider that the real introduction of the RAND policy was as part of the SVG specification, and suppose the public really had been aware that W3C intended to bless SVG as a patent-encumbered standard. Would we not have expected to see the September 30's 726 comments submitted instead some time before August 16? We saw no such thing. Instead, we saw the close of the comment period go by quietly, just as I said. I submit that, far from my facts being out of order, you have attempted to spin the facts in a way that suits you. -- Daniel
