Damn straight.  In fact, I can reveal that the W3C has subcontracted
with a major sub-unit of the Pentagon (quite a bit of extra time on 
their hands these days over there) and those boys are monitoring this 
list vigilantly for the first sign of someone getting out of lock-step.
There's now a markup-thoughtcrime massive-retaliation strike force
on 24-hour alert hiding behind an NNTP server in Falls Church, so
straighten up and fly right, girls 'n' boys.  There's a bit of a problem
in that xml-dev is hosted in a Foreign Country, but they're working
on leveraging the NATO liaison; so the kind of dangerous anarchy
we've seen around here can't last long, thank goodness. -T.
