Panther, you're right that these standards are entirely voluntary. But the W3C wants them to be madnatory. Just remember, they want everyone to follow their standards. Imagine a Web where "click here" can't be used as link text. With regards to shutting down the W3C, please read question "You really think you can shut down the W3C?". If it was proven that this guy didn't exist, not many people would trust the W3C. I think that anyone should have the right to remain anonymous, but the W3C's reputation is on the line here. You're right about free stuff. But still, Imagine a Web where "click here" can't be used as link text. That's a little wierd.
