Dear Sirs,
I will not knowingly support any "standard" which involves a patented
technology. For example, I do not support GIFs because of patent issues.
The Internet and the Web succeeded because anyone could contribute and did.
Patents are inherently contrary to such openness.
Sincerely,
Peter Hoffman
