The W.3.C. is already powerless when it made that move; it would be even more powerless if it didn't.

That situation truly opened my eyes to the fact that for most people, pragmatic arguments of the kind of “We cannot stop drugs anyway, so we better legalize it, so we can better regulate it.” really seem to only apply when they already agree and that the same people who say it in one case suddenly are staunchly against such pragmaticism when it no longer fly their way.

d.r.m. would be there regardless of what the W.3.C. would do and at the time the lesser of two evils was certainly the W.3.C. having control over the specification to some degree.

I didn't know actually the E.F.F. had such a position, I felt it was the last agent in internet transparency and freedom that hadn't gone insane. It's a sad thing to read but I won't be donating to it any more if such is it's modus operandī.
