You'd think so, but then again, look at the developers who did the
actual prototypical (pre-REC) XML programming work -- Norbert Mikula,
Tim Bray, James Clark, David Megginson [me!], Peter Murray-Rust, Henry
Thompson, and a few others who'll justly be upset I've forgotten them,
all at that time independents or academic researchers.  More
independents and academics did similar work for the other XML-related
standards as they came around.


All the best,


David
