xml-dev - RE: Who will maintain SAX?

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com>]

Ok, so almost all of the contenders have a 
closed or semi-closed polity of some kind.  

SAX won't go away no matter who owns the 
record of authority.  And SAX is pretty 
complete, isn't it?  So a lot of changes 
to that record aren't imminent.

What about OASIS?  They were founded for 
just such activities.  At least in the 
strict sense of a markup organization, 
they is us.    Costs?

Membership is by invitation and vote - not exactly wide open - but it's an
interesting list:

There have been charges that interest-buying is possible at the Apache
Foundation, but I've never heard anything concrete.

The contribution process is pretty wide-open:
