I would prefer if Bitcoin stayed just like E-mail: no "E-mail Foundation", no "E-mail phone number" etc, and everybody understands that very well. Nobody asks for an "authority over E-mail".
HTML5 is determined by a standard group. There's no evil people going around making HTML5 into a tool for government spying.
I'm absolutely certain that everybody understands how E-mail came about and continues to exist in the world today.
