Abstract
As the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, the global standard-setting body for the Web, I write to urge you to consider the impact of U.S. Patent No. 5,838,906 (the '906 patent) on World Wide Web users, software developers, and the many commercial and non-commercial organizations that depend on the Web every day around the world.
