Actually, based on my correspondence, I think we have several allies in the 
W3C.  Dan Brickley is another.  Henry Thomson, Schemas WG chair made a very 
early Python binding for his prototype XSV schemas implementation, and Philip 
Le Hagar, current DOM WG chair and I have chatted about making the Python/DOM 
binding an official annex.

However, I've often noticed that W3C staffers tend to avoid public jousting 
with member company reps over matters that might be considered political.

In good news, though, it looks as if over a hundred people have signed our 
petition in under 24 hours.  That should ring a bell for the W3C.
