What are the realistic outcomes of the W3C/RAND process? Bruce Perens has
argued that RAND actually discriminates against open source, and argued for RF
(Royalty Free) in its place, but several well-informed people say that the W3C
is unlikely to adopt RF. If RAND is not ND (Non-Discriminatory) and RF is not
acceptable to the W3C, what else could happen?

Hope it gets answered, instead of the dumb questions that usually get moderated up.
