Marcus' cynicism is quite reasonable, and my comments were uncalled-for,
sorry. I was talking about the kind of bozo who makes most unmoderated
discussion groups useless; someone with apparently infinite time and
energy, but little to add to the design process. XML-dev is a delightful
exception.
In the W3C, either someone is paying you to be there, or you're an
explicitly invited expert. In practice this eliminates a certain amount
of time-wasting. -Tim
