Well W3C becomes the standard from their recomendations because when developing most browsers (with the exception of internet explorer who seem to ignore masses of feedback and reccomendations) they tend to look towards W3C to understand how the software should interpret source code.

Hey Tom,

You are right the W3C publishes “recommendations” I think these are perceived as “standards” by the industry. I didn't want to confuse the wording with yet another term.

It seems likely that more informal groups will start to push specifications up the chain to a more formal process to expand their reach.

And yes, San Francisco is great fun!

Though there is a lot to criticise them for, I have to say that within my area of knowledge (HTML is, because of the WHAT WG thing, rather an anomaly), the W3C have been doing a pretty good job - I can think of a few W3C WGs who have invited very good experts onto WGs even though they don't work for a Member Org. Similarly, for OWL, they've basically done on a much smaller scale what they did with HTML - wait until a group of knowledgable experts came along and formed a group (the WebOnt Working Group), kept an eye on what they were coming up with and then made it formal at an appropriate point.<br><br>Here's hoping that things like OpenID/OAuth/OWF etc. push the W3C further towards the side of sweetness, happiness and pretty flowers.<br><br>Hope you are enjoying the transplant to SF!

Here's hoping that things like OpenID/OAuth/OWF etc. push the W3C further towards the side of sweetness, happiness and pretty flowers.

Hope you are enjoying the transplant to SF!
