I agree with you mostly, except that we are a W3C WG which means we propose recommendations for the web. If folks want to use them elsewhere, then that is great, my joy is unbounded. But I have a niggling concern that if we were to adopt your formulation, then some ietf folks might get a bit miffed because W3C were setting out to define internet standards. Our design centre is the web. Brian
