The W3C isn't some ivory tower organization "fighting corporate dominance". Microsoft (as well as IBM, Macromedia and dozens of others) is a major contributor to the W3C processes. They are also not specifically for or against open source software. There is a very specific reason that the W3C doesn't call its specifications "Standards" - rather they call them "Recommendations". Enforcement of standards simply isn't part of their charter in the least.
