er... *Every* w3c recommendation has to go through a vote of the full
membership, a majority of whom aren't on any WG, and the "AC members"
(read voters) are almost never on the WG. The reason none have been
voted down (IIRC) is the endless last-call/CR/PR process.. they tend to
die well before the final vote if they're gonna die.
