Right.  The W3C is probably far too slow moving for the RSS community, and 
few of them are members.  But more importantly, the W3C works by a 
consensus-driven process.  The Browser Wars were bloodless, chivalric 
skirmishes compared to the RSS vs/+ Pie/Necho/Atom/whatever wars. I don't 
remember anyone's addictions or mental illnesses being brought up in DOM 
Level 1 debates, anyway <duck>.

Their best bet IMHO is the IETF, where "rough consensus and running code" 
speak louder than money and affiliation AFAIK.
