That's why there's a CLA, but I can totally see if you or your employer feels uncomfortable with that. You might have the best possible interests, but not everyone may be as honest. Personally, have participated as an unaffiliated volunteer and hobbyist at the W3C for a few years, I've never seen an issue with this.
