"I have no friends in business." - a successful CEO turning a profit for a company that hasn't turned one in a while People seem to be wishing for lots of things. Different organizations don't necessarily fix anything. Different processes don't necessarily fix anything. Well-focused requirements help. We will never see a frictionless web, IMO, mainly, because there are too many places where surfaces meet moving parts. This whole debate IS semantic hair splitting because we do have many semantics. We know that. Big umbrella organizations try to cover all of that, but scope is still scope. A well-focused organization only tries to do a few things well. Works in business and it works in standards and specs. The question is can these organizations operate in the open? We are at an interesting point in the growth of the web organizations and businesses. Can they compete and provide standards AND products?

And remember ISO specs are exactly renouned for being terribly friendly, and take quite a while to produce.... be careful what you wish for if it's a more ISO-like W3C.
