      AP is just a protocol. Like HTTP. The IETF owns the HTTP protocol. Anyone is free to implement it, but they decide what HTTP is and how it evolves over time.

        I don’t believe many people implementing AP listen to W3C. W3C can say they own it, but I want to see practical evidence, not just a flag.
