It happened with HTML 3, though I believe the process was somewhat
different at the time.

That's a tough one. Getting AC reps from companies not actively involved in
a WG or planning on implementing a particular technology to spend the
appropriate amount of time to review and form an informed opinion on the
matter is difficult. I suspect more than a few member companies only vote
on what they have direct interest in, and don't even bother reading the rest.
