Does your org own your domain name and trademark?
If not - make a fallback plan now!
I'm watching in horror as the W3C tries to retain control over its domain w3.org and the w3c trademark, which to date has been held on its behalf by MIT.
MIT's lawyers seem to me to have spotted an opportunity to make some money by gouging the not-for-profit standards body.
In case anyone was wondering why this matters:
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" is why.
(Update - TIL - Modern apps don’t actually fetch these references. So the next bit is wrong for most important cases)
If www.w3.org breaks - then _all_ those xml schema all over the web and in apps break too.
So it isn't a little not-for-profit corp matter.
It's an #infosec #ddos matter .
