It's not a W3C thing. It's a "it's easy to set up yet another list on the Internet" thing. Think back a year ago or so when XML-DEV was failing. At least once a month someone would set up a list on egroups or wherever, yet people saw the benefits of having a single "normative" forum rather than dozens of splinter lists to monitor. I really doubt that Henry is acting as part of some W3C-wide plan to stiffle discussion; rather, my guess is he is just a lone gunman acting on his own on this one. DB http://www.develop.com/dbox
