This ongoing discussion about the appropriate role of government, standards organizations, and consortia is a little broader than just the XML standard. There's the Java standard, the ISO, IETF, and W3C. There are also issues such as emerging e-commerce standards. (That's one reason for the discussion on Dr. Dobbs' -- it affects more than the xml-dev community). It appears OASIS recognizes that standards should also include the participation of representative governments. It cooperates with the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology on XPath/XSLT conformance testing (http://www.itl.nist.gov/div897/projects/projxslt.htm). OASIS also partnered with the UN when launching the ebXML initiative (www.ebxml.org).
