Richard,

I know you like the idea of submitting XPL to the W3C, but this
should
wait a good while, remember XPL is open source; though I really
wouldn't call anything the W3C does as open source (though I am
probably wrong here).  So, let's get the framework down, and a
working
copy of XPL first, before we decide to contact the bigger players, if
at all.  (Though if we did contact the W3C, XPL would have more
recognization).
