That's the whole point. This isn't a pointless debate like Linux vs.
Windows or Coke vs. Pepsi. People choose what OS they use. People
choose what they drink. Don't like Coke? --don't buy it. No one is
obliged to follow the Coca Company's advise. The W3C on the other hand,
as a quasi-official body, enjoys a certain aura of authority. Keeping
quiet about its decisions means implicit acquiescence.
