“Sadly, it appears that a problem has come up. The U.K.
government, you see, has had the temerity to post an on-line
survey, asking for input on which standards it should consider
adopting. Governments, as you may recall, increasingly interface
with citizens through the Web. Governments are also the servants of
the people, and not the other way around. So imagine – a
government asking its citizens how they might want to better
interact with their government? Or what would make it easier and
cheaper for them to do so?”
