"IMO, the horses are a bunch of disconnected islands spread across the internet. It sure would be nice to have a single system that wasn't controlled by one company to connect the islands."
Hmm - if I am not mistaken (or drunk) what you allude to is called a "standard", presumably the raison d'etre. Nevertheless, standards, whether ipso facto, de facto or du jure are all standards. A single company who writes a standard has no more freedom to manipulate that standard that the du jure standards from ISO, IEEE et al, given they have to always act in the best interests of the users of the standard. Summary: let's accept submissions for their value, regardless of where they arise from. Pragmatically yours....
