...Since the Web is global, its technology must support a wide range
of policy options that encourage all cultures to use the Web. ...[T]he
W3C must be aware of and apply an understanding of public policy.
...[The Web's] architecture must allow local policies to co-exist
without cultural fragmentation or domination. In addition, W3C can
provide feedback to policy makers regarding: what is technically
possible; how effectively the technology can meet policy requirements;
and possible unintended consequences of proposed policies.
