Yes, but I think we're likely to see a much stronger emphasis on standards
as governments mandate a move to e-commerce -- particularly for doing
business with the government.

There is ample precedent for an consortium acting as an incubator, but
periodically submitting specifications to ANSI/ISO. SQL Access Group and
X/Open were consortia that acted as an SQL incubator, but they submitted the
SQL specs to ANSI/ISO (1986, 1989, 1992, 1995).
Submitting XML to the ISO would not diminish the W3C's on-going role as an
XML incubator.
