Agree. But can we treat them as separate things till we actually decide to formally support the W3C format? That frees us to experiment, innovate, and make (hopefully few) mistakes that we can correct with versioning. It gives us a good way to feed back to the Web without using the Web as a place of experimentation while also enabling new features. If we get agreement as a group on this, I think it would help a lot. It doesn't mean the two formats will necessarily deviate a lot - but conceptually, it does free us a little bit.
