Guys, W3C matters because it has promoted open standards and patents for the global good. I've always thought this is W3C's primary mission, and it has been widely successful. Now, with the near breakbown of browser compatability, or even network compatability, W3C is threatening to worsenthe situation by sellling and patenting the specs?? This will not only make W3C mostly irrevalent, but it does exactly the opposite what we need from W3C today. Without reinvigorating open standards, the WWW which W3C helped make possible, will be a propiatary only space with a complete lack of individual innovation. Your burrying free software, and free software is the reason for the internet and the internet economy.
