Not the CONSENSUS of a newsgroup ... only its ability to provide DISCOVERY. The decision is still, ultimately, in the hands of the patent arbiter. All that opening up this process would do is to insure that if prior art existed that it could be brought forth through a normal discovery process. This is done by the W3C all the time when they are attempting to insure that the patents that they are filing do not infringe existing patents.
