  originate with me. It was Mark Curphey who approached me
  in late 2003 (IIRC) to invite me to participate in the
  OASIS Web Application Security Technical Committee. The goal
  was to create portable formats for vulnerability definition,
  automated detection, and automated protection. So I just did
  what was in the charter of the committee already.
