While I have been unhappy with the way OASIS has been managing XML-DEV, I must say OASIS has been on a roll of late, taking thunder away from W3C.  I guess it started with DSML, gathered mass with SAML and XACML.  With Liberty and BPEL4WS coming under their influence, OASIS is now looking at a lionshare of key specs that will dominate the Internet and intranets in the near future.  Compared to them, W3C is looking pretty devastated [with disinterest and hopeless dreams] at this point.
