Does anyone know of a general W3C-issues list?  Not something limited to
the folks inside the W3C, but a more general place to discuss standards
issues.  It doesn't have to be focused on the W3C in particular, but it
should at least be a place where such discussion is acceptable
conversation.  A place where issues like those described above can be
explored in depth, and not just as they relate to a single technology.

Pardon the divergence from XSL...
