"On 16 August 2001 the W3C made public a proposal to substantially change their patent policy framework. Amongst the changes is support for a new licensing model (called RAND) that legitimises the W3C´s role in developing and promoting standards that could require the payment of royalties"
The W3C is contemplating putting a patent system in place on its recommendations. Please read more
about it here: http://www.webstandards.org/
The W3C draft is available here: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-patent-policy-20010816/
You have till October 11 to tell the W3C what you think of this idea.
