There is ample precedent for an consortium acting as an incubator, but periodically submitting specifications to ANSI/ISO. SQL Access Group and X/Open were consortia that acted as an SQL incubator, but they submitted the SQL specs to ANSI/ISO (1986, 1989, 1992, 1995). Submitting XML to the ISO would not diminish the W3C's on-going role as an XML incubator.
