So, the W3C is a reasonable "R&D Lab for the Internet" where competitors get together to sort out where they want to compete, and where they want to work in tandem; this is a "good thing" because this provides end-users with a rough, sketch of what they can expect to buy, what they will have to build, and what components they can reasonably expect to interoperate in a rapidly changing world.   It is NOT a reasonable standards organization, as this example illustrates all too clearly.  W3C Recommendations are a common *starting* point on the road to truly robust standards.
