This may well occur, but, as a datapoint, the cases I have seen (in X3H3) of "representing oneself" were not folks whose company would not fund their participation, but folks working as indpendent consultants/contractors, who were part of no incorporated entity, but had a burning interest in the work of the committee. By adding "representing oneself" to the rules, ANSI allowed these (highly motivated, they paid out of their own pockets) people to add to the committee's productivity. Kent, the man from xanth.
