Marcus' cynicism is quite reasonable, and my comments were uncalled-for,
sorry.  I was talking about the kind of bozo who makes most unmoderated 
discussion groups useless; someone with apparently infinite time and 
energy, but little to add to the design process.  XML-dev is a delightful 
exception.

In the W3C, either someone is paying you to be there, or you're an 
explicitly invited expert.  In practice this eliminates a certain amount 
of time-wasting. -Tim
