6 months ago Berners-Lee was claiming to be on the road to rolling out Web 2.0, a de-centralized protocol we'd all jump on to be free of this cruft.
Fast-forward to now and his new scheme is a sort of UN for Web 1.0? And, like the UN, one that is totally powerless beyond sternly written letters and is governed by some of the greatest infringers of the very rights it's claiming to protect?
I'm going to assume he isn't as naive as one would have to be to blindly push such a doomed-to-fail proposition, so on the same assumption this has to be some sort of fight for relevancy or mere publicity.
