That is unsubstantiated. It may have happened slower and at higher quality. This is the religion that leads to closure by not recognizing the high costs for complex systems and insisting that a simple system is a better system even if it doesn't meet the requirements. The result is a complex system that does not cohere. The results are self-evident and why a TAG had to be formed. Len http://www.mp3.com/LenBullard Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata.

Not that the academics don't bring something to the table, and in general I'm in favor of more non-vendor input in the standards community: (not just academics, we need more big users and people like librarians). I think almost all of the cruft comes from lack of respect for the 80/20 principle on which the Web itself is based. -Tim
