Erk!

I haven't been involved with W3C since 2000, but I WAS involved in W3C 
during the late 1990s. It's worth pointing out that the "alternate 
routing" mechanism _did_ include a king - at that time, Tim was doing 
final endorsement for all "recommendations", and it looks like 
Director Endorsement is still the case (see 
http://www.w3.org/2004/02/Process-20040205/tr.html#q73).

We need to be careful what we wish for, sometimes... but thinking 
about John's note, and this factoid, is motivating me to finally read 
the drafts!
