Alternatives to the W3C

On Fri, 21 Jan 2000, Tyler Baker ignored a simple convention in order to express in lines of almost 100 cpl:
> > No. There is one Web.
...
> Actually in technical terms if your web site hyperlings to another web site which
> hyperlinks to another web site, then yes that is a web.

"web" != "Web". But I don't suppose you're interested in that, as you 
can't even seem to get the definition of little w "web" right.

Yes. And all of them use HTTP, HTML, etc. Open standards, regardless of
which sophistries you employ to try to obscure their relatedness.
