I am saying - and said it during last TPAC or the eBook Workshop in NYC - that referencing or even implementing WD/ED/LS raises some blocking issues for industries outside of the browser world. I also pinged W3C Legal for the legal implications. I work with such industries on a daily basis, and no, these companies are only users of our specs and have no interest, no budget, no available workforce to join W3C or even participate in free (cost) WHATWG. This is _not_ their world. You disagree. Ok. Now what? > My app might have been used by a couple of thousand people, but was it any more or less complicated than the "hyper-critical" app that you are talking about? Want an example? Web-standards-based electric counter installed in everyone's flat/house, command-controlled over the electrical wire (through PLC) by the electricity provider, and offering html-based UI for user input. Hundreds of millions of people in that configuration around the globe and increasing every year. So yes, probably FAR more critical than your app. </Daniel>
