Did you know that Microsoft was part of the cabal against ES4, proposing a competing and very modest ES3.1 which became ES5?

  MS was on both sides of it. Remember JS.NET? It was veey ES4'ish (for early definitions of ES4, anyway).

    No, I didn't know about it... Still, the hostility from the "against" side (which also included Yahoo and a pre-Chrome Google) was enough to derail the effort.
