Melinda,
Or, conversely, you could chastise Ben for making offensive statements
about
Google's "position" in his posting.
I observe that Ben's reply to my question about the "our" in his message
is that
he was stating Google's position.
Since the IETF ethos calls for us to participate as individuals, and
since Ben
appears to be trying use Google's stature in supporting a technical
argument,
where is the criticism of his statement?
Also, I have never seen _any_ vendor make a statement on an IETF list in
which they
openly say that their development plans are not influenced by whatever IETF
standards may arise. I don't doubt that many vendors feel and act this
way, but they usually don't flaunt their intent. The issue here isn't
whether
browser UI details are appropriate fodder for IETF standards, but rather
whether
Google staff should make stark statements like this in the context of an
IETF WG
discussion.

nice of you to reaffirm that Google doesn't care about IETF standards
in this context.
Steve, this kind of commentary really needs to stop.
