Luckily, the W3C patent policy is such that we don't have to answer that 
question. Once the specification is a W3C Recommendation, you don't 
have to ask (in this case) Apple for a license anyway.

(Patent claims may be important if W3C for some reason decides to not 
make the specification a standard, or in a conflict between patent 
holders, but in those cases it is no longer W3C business.)
