Whow! Now we are two! I see the process like this: 1. Develop a system that people hopefully like and start to use 2. Then make it a standard I started the other way around but with 5 years with zero interest from Mozilla and Microsoft, you begin to see that Open Source is a better way ahead. I also believe that some things need to mature a bit before you go to a standards body like W3C. BTW, OASIS and IETF may be equally suitable. They may scream for it some day :-) I also use the Apache XML stuff although I use Xerces and Java which though requires JRE.
