The W3C facilitates that for them sow why reinvent that wheel? The W3C is not meant to be independent of other organizations involved in making the web rather made up by them.
- Pet_Ant 3y agoBecause the W3C and the IETF should be vendor neutral organizations that serve the broader good and general interoperability. When it's really 2 of the world's largest organisations (we'll see how long Firefox lasts) it's really just rubber stamping their agenda. Maybe it's naive, but it seems like just yet another betrayal of the open web and HTML as a part of that.
- andybak 3y agoDidn't the w3c make a hash of that when it was mostly true? I'm thinking the XHTML debacle and related dead-ends.
- zamadatix 3y agoA noble goal but more a wish of what they should offer rather than a view of what they do offer which is why Mozilla/Apple/Google/Microsoft don't feel the need to do things outside of it.
