Why should Apple dictate their approach to everyone else then? If they are so resolved to remain outsiders technology wise because they are crazy bent on NIH, let them be outsiders. I'd say everyone else should take a hard stance on this and show Apple to the door, instead of dancing under their tune.

It's called a "standards process" for a reason. Even if you personally have a different opinion the point of a standard is to get everyone implementing it on-board with that standard. Releasing a standard that a major member opposes and won't implement is a pointless exercise.

  So if there won't be any consensus, then what? I see no reason to oblige Apple in this case then.

  When Apple adopts some technology, they don't care whether others can do the same, or what problems that will cause to others. They might use the same medicine.
