Of course, I certainly recall folk trying to deflect various
criticisms of W3C on this list with arguments along the lines
of "that's not true, W3C _is_ representative of the overall
web community".

It's a case of "can't have cake and eat it too".

And in particular, if W3C isn't the body in pursuit of
the public interest for web technologies, then nontrivial
chunks of the work done in that context have been
under false pretenses.
