I'll agree with that. So many act as if the W3C is creating standards, many others are fooled into thinking they are. Yep, that's the point. Now UDDI can act that way too because the precedent has been set. So, does this mean everyone gets to have it both ways? I leave it to the W3C cheerleaders to defend the act.

Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: James Robertson [mailto:jamesr@s...] I think the point was being made that the W3C acts as if they are creating standards. The industry also implements them as if they are standards. Users view them as standards. But when the difficult questions arise, the W3C invariably says "hey don't blame us, we're not creating standards!". You can't have your cake and eat it: Either you are creating standards, and must therefore be expected to be held against the highest standards, or you're not. "All the power, but none of the responsibility"
