While this is probably all true.

PLEASE EVERYONE - adding some SUPPORT to the protocol
does NOT mean it has to be USED.

If the VWRAP protocol supports *all* interop at any level,
then the large business can STILL deny their users to level
and take their assets with them.

The protocol will NEVER demand you do something that you
don't want.

What we speak about here is that the standard - VWRAP - will or
will not allow "others" to *use* VWRAP for THEIR purposes.

So, I'm sorry - but if anyone is against THAT.. and even has
the slightest hesitation to agree that VWRAP should support
all interests out there (ie, the business model above, as well as
the more user oriented one) then I have a good case to believe
in the "evil corporate" theory.
