Can't but agree with that.  WHATNG should look out for the best
interests of everybody and not just themselves.  Adhering to existing
web standards is a key part of keeping the Internet a sane environment
for both developers and users.  Hasn't Microsoft done enough damage
already?  Are WHATNG just trying to add another prong to the Devil's
fork?  Why not just use another namespace?  'HTMLNG'?
