Greetings Jeff,
Sounds like another case of "No Bucks - No Buck Rogers" story.  As much as
we want Open Source and Open Standards to solve problems, it still comes
down to a matter of funding.  At least, with Open Standards and Open Source
combined, if one company goes belly up the product can be continued.  The
challenge with Open Standards is to make sure that standards board can be
reasonable.

V/R,
