Talk:Michael Sperberg-McQueen

Untitled
22 August 2009. I noticed that this article about me contained outdated information about my place of employment. I left W3C at the end of January 2009; see my 'People' page at W3C for confirmation. So I removed the now inaccurate information. I didn't add a new affiliation, to avoid the appearance of advertising or conflict of interest. And I resisted the temptation to revise the text for better flow.

Would the article read less like a resume if it were terser and more factual? Something like the following? I'll leave that decision to someone with more sense of good wikipedia practice than I have.
