That just gets the browser makers castigated by the tech community. Every time, say.. Google, intents something new, the entirely predictable incoherent screaming starts about how it's another Microsoft IE/ActiveX.
Nevermind the fact that the landscape has changed to the point where that isn't a realistic outcome anymore.
Nevermind the fact that in the instance I'm describing (which was something like WebASM or WebSockets.. it was WebSomething and I can't recall the name), they had submitted their proposals to the standardization groups, with no change on the volume of the noises.
I wish people would decide whether they want browser makers trying New Stuff or they want New Stuff coming from standards bodies only. There are upsides and downsides to either way, but I really don't beleive that BMing browser makers whenever they try New Stuff is even sort of constructive.
