Blasphemy!  Consider a remedial course in W3C-think.

The W3C is a consortium.  It consists of corporations, and corporations
are generally incorporated to be selfish.

Consortia are not standards bodies except through concerted delusion.

There's plenty of innovation, for lack of a better word.  The issue is
whether it's the right kind.  But this can't - and shouldn't - occur to
anyone who starts with the premise that the W3C speaks for a wider
community.  If you want that, you'll simply have to believe it.  Despite
the facts.

Because some will find your lack of faith disturbing.
