@smallcircles@hrefna@dadifroggie@w3c I see almost no similarity between a document like the AP Rec and a mortgage contract (other than both being formalized written documents). I think the issue isn’t ownership per se, but what entity is authorized to perform maintenance of the document. For the AP/AS2 Recs, that entity is W3C and only W3C (enforced via copyright and trademark laws). No grassroots entity has that right.
