Up until now I thought that the w3c was there to ensure that the web and all of its technologies were free for all to use and innovate on, so that there could be no dominant player that could exclude others from the "game". By allowing patended technologies in w3c standards this is no longer true. Only big companies with costly lawyers will be able to include those technologies, and the free software infrastructure that up until now has rendered the web possible (thanks to the insight, up until now, of the w3c) will be wiped away. I think that no patented technology should ever be included in w3c recommendations. -- Luca Olivetti
