+      <b>Q: How do you identify "XR interoperability-washing"?</b><br/>
+      <b>A:</b> <i>"XR interoperability-washing"</i> is akin to greenwashing; it occurs when companies aggressively <b>market a commitment to open standards</b> while their top-down corporate structures make true interoperability technically impossible.<br>These entities often promote:<br>
+      <ul>
+        <li>Top-down business2business-interop (instead of bottom-up)</li>
+        <li>complex SDKs and proprietary integrations
+        <li>proprietary servers as essential component</li>
+        <li>designed to "lock in" their user base</li>
+        <li>no credible exit (run content elsewhere e.g.)</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <blockquote>
+        <b>Metaphor:</b> XR interoperability-washing is similar to a DNS-company (which allows you to register a domain) disables the 'transfer a domain'-feature.
+      </blockquote>
+
+      While these methods may offer limited connectivity, they fall short of providing a sustainable, seamless "world-to-world" browsing experience (XR hypermedia).<br>
+In contrast, <b>(bottom-up) XR hypermedia</b> offers a more cost-efficient path.<br>By removing the need to protect stakeholders, centralized user bases, or specific crypto-wallets, it flips the traditional power structure. <br>In this model, the user—not the corporate stakeholder—is the starting point and operator of the network.
