It’s just data

First Choice


I've been thinking and reading about the IETF and W3C lately.  A lot.  A brain-dump of my current thinking:

There is precedent for a dual IETF/W3C path.  If someone can identify both the additional benefits and the additional costs of pursuing the W3C presuming a baseline of an IETF working group; and if leaving the door open for this possibility in July or later doesn't give the IESG heartburn now; I personally am willing to entertain this discussion.  In fact, I would be willing to make a substantial commitment of my own time to make this happen.

It is not a question of having to "settle" for one or the other.  Despite reservations, I'm sure that all the issues can be worked and either organization would make a fine home for Atom.  However, if a choice must be made, and a choice is an option, the IETF was from the beginning, and remains, my first choice.
