In the HTML WG, no major browser vendor has provided any editorship or extraordinary contributions since the rebirth of the group in 1998.* A considerable majority of the work is provided by an individual who is now an invited expert (he left his member-company employment in August 1999). If you're saying the CSS working group has left it's documents in the control of 2-3 companies who only desire to codify their current (at times questionable) practices, that sounds like a CSS-WG problem, not one endemic to HTML-related specs. * Netscape and Opera have members responsible for a segment of modules for XHTML 2.0, but that's a very recent turn of events.
