@Elizafox These people deal with MICROSOFT. The people whose mantra is EMBRACE, EXTEND, EXTINGUISH. And somehow the web remains an open platform.

Seriously, this is not the mountain to die on. It really isn't.

Not entirely true.

OStatus was made by the StatusNet guys and donated to W3C after the IETF didn't want it.

I've been following this nonsense since it was identi.ca

What killed OStatus at W3C is that Evan Prodromou came down with a bout of CADT, wrote Pump instead and moved identi.ca to it.

That is what killed OStatus.
