I think this is a fruitful and promising discussion on the part of the WebKit team. The biggest problem here is that the antipathy towards Apple in response to the perception that Apple management thinks the Macintosh is a dead-end and this is starting to infect other discussions. As someone else noted, Apple created OpenCL, helped make it a standard and dumped it. It embraced OpenGL when Mac OS X first came out and now it can't be bothered to implement anything beyond 4.1. All of these little irritations serve to remind people of the Apple of yore that had NIH in extremis and was the gang that couldn't shoot straight. The hostility is unfortunate, but I fear it's going to become more frequent if Apple's senior management thinks the ship is fine.
