Competition helps drive innovation, but right now WebKit has so much forward momentum, it's hard to say that standardizing on WebKit is a bad thing. WebKit is LGPL-licensed, so if it were ever to stagnate, there's nothing preventing anyone (even companies) from forking it for their own desires.
I'd much rather see a WebKit-driven force than a proprietary one.
edit: LGPL-licensed, not just BSD. Thanks buymorechuck.
