How does Microsoft participate in the W3C or other standards bodies?
Microsoft actively participates in the CSS3 and SVG working groups, co-chairs the HTML5 working group, and leads the HTML5 Testing Task Force. Standards consistency is a top priority for Microsoft. We create and submit more test cases to the W3C than any other web browser vendor does. For example, as of the Internet Explorer RC, we have created and submitted 3,942 test cases to the standards bodies. Doing so helps to ensure that as web browsers implement modern web standards, developers write to them consistently and enterprises can have fewer concerns about web application compatibility.
