I know that it's hard. But specs are hard also, and who's resolving those but W3C.

Do you know how the W3C is organized? We are 60 people, from various domain. The working groups are composed from developpers (the members) from the industry (Apple, Microsoft, Netscape, Userland, etc.). They are working hard under the control/help of a W3C employee to collaborate, develop the standards.
