If it is to remain relevant it can not even begin to act as a cartel colluding with browser implementors in conflict with either users or authors. There is just no point. I'm not a member of any working group, but I thought the point of W3C exercises was to create and maintain technologies for everyone, not ones which make only WG members happier. The WG members are not an accurate sample of the populace by a long shot and standards written for yourselves will only serve to diminish the W3C's valuable influence. Ben (q) Ben Godfrey?
