Andrew is being polite; Markoff is totally wrong on this subject. I think it's not my fault; he interviewed me and the only individual I talked about (as far as I can recall) was Bosak and his crusade to make the W3C launch the project. I have no idea where he picked up the story he told and in particular I'm sure I never mentioned Michael... weird. Anyhow, I sent him a note complaining and he wrote back: ============================================================== thanks. I've already been flamed for falsifying history...I'll try to find a way to set things right...
