I guess it's a little comforting to see that standards groups aren't as retarded as consumers. That doesn't mean they aren't, though, after reading this at the end:

"In short, industry players that have embraced VC-1 fear they may have to go back to Microsoft and pony up fees for a WMVx license in the future. MPEG's Koenen dismissed such a possibility. 'Microsoft knows better than that,' he said."
