RE: [xml-dev] W3C Basic XML Schema Patterns for Databinding Last Call Review

Nope.  IBM has this same stuff in Irving Wladavsky's blog.  People who track
this for the ISO X3D standard read it and report it.

Sorry, Rich, I respect you enormously, but this is IBM out to take the
cookies and go home with them using Linden Labs as the proxy.  Sure, there
will be multiple standards; there already are (see 3DIF, Collada, etc.) but
never with journalists telling outright lies about the history of the
Internet.  

It stinks.  Bad.

Are you basing your denunciation on more than the one sentence in the 
article?

As far as I know, our "3D Internet" efforts are going to be all 
standards-based, just like or WS/SOA efforts.
