I'm intrigued to know of good reasons people cannot join the HTML-WG.

I am aware that joining implies a commitment to be honest about patents  
you know of, and I hope that is not a reaon anyone is holding back. I  
specifically asked about Apple, who seem to hold most of their video  
discussion on WHAT-WG (where there is no patent policy of any kind), but  
was reassured that they believe the policy applies to whatever they add to  
HTML, no matter where they hold the discussion.

I realise there are good reasons why people might not be able to  
effectively participate (or even deal with the amount of traffic). Did you  
mean something more than this?

cheers
