Hi Henrique,<br>
It appears from your arguments that you are approaching the wrong
people for support, and probably should be looking elsewhere.<br>

If you are looking to charge for the use of your IP, then that IP
would, by definition not be included in an Open Standard, and would
be a hindrance to the Open Source Community.<br>
<br>
If you are looking to give away the IP, you still have to build up a
groundswell of users wanting your proposed standard before there is
a business case to switch. Just because it might be better (I'm not
convinced, but you might be right) doesn't by itself attract users.
The dvorak keyboard is better than qwerty, Esperanto is better than
English, yet I am still writing English on querty keyboards.<br>
