Hmmm... let's back up 500 years. Folks decided litigation by seeing which side could come up with more supporters. And countries decided issues with armies. The details may be different, but saying that a technology is good just because umpteen big, bureaucratic companies send umpteen "goers" to umpteen meetings where umpteen votes are held, bears the same degree of validity. Hear, hear. Furthermore, we can also back up 10 years, when people first started saying that OSI was "the networking technology of tomorrow", which everybody should drop and turn to right away, since its World Takeover was supposedly imminent. :-) - Ted
