It's true and it's even an element that goes further than what we target. Our
target (for the census for example), is more to have access to the data. I
think some other groups focus more on the "open standard" question and
obivously we should agree with them. But our task (to get public data... public
!) is already vast not to take the risk to lose our focus.
