I agree.

AFAICR from Daniel Glazman’s ParisWeb 2006 conference, before W3C, IETF
was really open too -- problem seemed to be it was too much open, but I
don't know enough of Web history. So WHATWG may be called the “*second*
really open, collaborative community”. Or, to put it in a more
optimistic light, a “‘back to the origins’ movement.”
I don't say so just for nitpicking, but would also appreciate feedbacks
from people who were already there by IETF times; what are the
difference between “IETF time” and “WHATWG time” in the way of working?
