Why is submitting a specification to ISO "taking it away" from W3C? There
nothing that takes away the W3C's mission to incubate technology or its role
in evolving new versions of XML-related specifications.

Will we no longer see new ISO standards because technology incubators feel
something is taken away when they contribute to a standard?  (I missed it
when IBM closed its doors after having SQL and SGML "taken away" by the ISO
;-)
