RAND (no kidding :)

According to http://www.w3.org/Consortium/#goals

1.Universal Access: To make the Web accessible to all by 
promoting technologies that take into account the vast 
differences in culture, education, ability, material resources, 
and physical limitations of users on all continents;

Tell me how RAND doesn't jeopardize this?

US patents vs 'Universal Access', no that doesn't work.
Pay per use 'standards' vs taking into account material 
resources, not there either.

Oh . . . I get it, your 500 members is a statistical 
representation of the universe.

Please, I've enough to do dealing with other faux 'standards', 
please don't make me have to worry about your proposed 
break-away standards too. We created the W3C, we can kill it 
just as easily.
