I've seen your working draft and I must say I don't like it. I certainly see that web standards should support the transport of proprietary (or patented) technologies, but I don't believe that web standards should specify or endorse those proprietary (or patented) technologies. The web has become, perhaps by accident, a technological "commons" upon which all players may cooperate and/or compete. The value of that commons has been proven by the rapid and diverse communities that have developed within it. I believe the role of the W3C should be to ensure the continued development of that commons. Thank you. John Jensen jjens@primenet.com 33° 39' 42N 117° 45' 07W
