1. cross platform support and interactivity - at protocol level. 2. innovators build platforms and apps. 3. success and liberty for all!

Seriously though, totally agree with a few commenters (pat2man, mataug), open standards will win the day; any day...including future days.

I am genuinely curious in wondering what proportion of the open standards in technology begin as innovative evolutions of existing standards with only limited support at introduction, like this is. Isn't this essentially one of the accepted pathways to open standards, build the system, invite collaborators, and see if it gains acceptance and traction?
