The conspiracy theory.
Simon, I'm trying to understand your point. I read your mails for a
few months and I can not really understand it.
So, I can only tell you that we (W3C - Team People) are vendor
neutral. It's a kind of ethical responsibility. I know that you just
have to trust them and it seems to be not satifying for you.
But, just one comment, you tend to say that Members have big power on
the W3C and that the process is not publically available. You feel it
as a tyranny, a kind of dictature, but have you think to the power of
free time in mailing-list. Imagine a public open system mailing-list
but only with the right of one message by day by person in the list.
In the XML-DEV list, in fact, I feel your post negatively, it's bad
and I regret it. But too many posts that make a noisy atmosphere
finally...
Try just to synthetize your ideas and not post so often. [It should
be my first message this month :) ]
