Truth be told, we and our practical concerns never drove the organization. But after ordinary designers and developers spent nearly a decade selling web standards to browser makers and developing best practices around accessibility and semantics, one hoped the W3C might realize that there was value in occasionally consulting its user base…

What’s happening to W3C? Although I’ve heard a lot of people leaving W3C, I still don’t understand what’s going on with W3C. Why are they not doing anything to get hold of these important people or clients? Are they up to something?

I think having multiple standards organizations in the same arena dilutes the authority of all of them. Many people setting up alternative standards organizations know this. That they are going ahead anyway may indicate recklessness, but more likely it indicates the severity of the W3C’s problems.

In addition to the complaints you’ve registered here, I think the process for reviewing and grading websites is also seriously broken. Too often a page that utilizes tons of code will be downgraded for very minor infractions, and many times this means pages with tons of violations can essentially wind up with the same rating as a complex page with minor violations. In addition, there have been lots of questions raised lately about whether standards have a tendency to stifle creativity in some programmers, never allowing them to push the boundaries of what is acceptable in order to see what might be accomplished outside the rules. Generally, I think standards are a good idea, and I have use them and even promote them in the past, but I do think that there are some major issues that need to be addressed if the average programmer is going to continue to support them.
