Ah, again a pure claim without link?

Agreed, I guess most people here are in line with that.

Hmm, I did argue about standards being helpful for interoperability.
That Microsoft pushes WCS and Apple has CS is not a good reasoning to push 
a new non interoperable CMS. For users it has serious practical 
implications to have those systems get closer to standards. If Linux makes 
the start that would great. But you seems to have other plans.
