That's not the point. Consulting you is not consulting the Apache Group,
as we all know. OK, that might be justification for changing "without
any" to "with hardly any", especially considering that you have been too
busy.

I, too, welcome Daniel's input. All I'm saying is that W3C clearly
doesn't welcome AG's input and that that is foolish.

Not to mention calling into question the validity of W3C's claim that it
"...is vendor neutral, working with the global community...". Clearly it
is not.
