Liberty Alliance = OpenDoc?
Time was, the trade press (including me) wrote pages upon pages about Open Doc as an Apple-sponsored alternative to the evil Microsoft's OLE/ActiveX. Then Apple found it had bigger fish to fry and pawned off OpenDoc onto an independent, Component Integration Laboratories. (I've still got the t-shirt.)

Is this what's happened to Liberty Alliance? It was ginned up by Sun to defend the world against PassPort. Sun certainly has found it has bigger problems to focus on, so is the Liberty Alliance destined for the dustbin of history? I think so.
