Hmm, the last of these was more than four years ago. And both of them resulted from the
W3C's "old" role as a place where vendors can come together to define interoperability
profiles of reasonably well-understood technologies. That is clearly not what the Schema,
Query, or Semantic Web working groups are doing. "Purely academic" is not a reasonable
description for the W3C's focus these days, but neither is a desciption that does not reflect
its newer aspirations to push the boundaries of Web/XML technology.
