Simon, you usually don't resort to hyperbole :) TBL may be the director of the Consortium, but the membership votes on what will or won't be made into a Recommendation. If the membership gives it a resounding "YES!" the director, Tim or anyone else who may hold that spot later, isn't just going to play despot and say "NO!". 300+ individuals (representing their member organizations) make the choice -- the director just puts the final stamp on it, or when there is controversy and dissent within the membership, makes a determination of appropriate action, which the members also voice. The vote isn't just "yes" or "no" -- it's "yes, as is" "yes, with these minor corrections" "no - go back for more work on this area" and "we think this is bad and we shouldn't be working on it any more". W3C groups do indeed "sit down" together through several coordination groups. CSS and XSL groups aren't operating in a vacuum. Now all this reminds me to go vote on a pending issue right now...
