I've heard this one over and over and, let's face it, being an "invited expert" is not a realistic option for most general members of the public. It assumes that you: (a) are well enough known to get invited, (b) have enough time to contribute at the level of a WG member, (c) have enough money to attend (flight, hotel, etc.) the WG meetings. (a) cuts out most of the world and (b) and (c) cut out most of the remaining people. I'm not saying anything about whether the W3C is open or closed -- just that I'm tired of hearing the "invited expert" argument as a reasonable route to allow non-W3C members to participate. -- Ronald Bourret Programming, Writing, and Training XML, Databases, and Schemas http://www.rpbourret.com
