I don't know the answer, I'm not involved in those things, as I say in my profile, my opinions are mine. In my opinion, it might be better to do this through the W3C or IETF, but I don't have the context, so that's an ill-informed gut opinion. Perhaps there's a perception that the W3C is premature at this stage, as things are quickly evolving and standards committees usually standardize stuff after there's been some proprietary experience. The W3C might not even be the right venue. For example, changes to JS go through TC'39, whereas changes to protocols go through IETF. Lots of XML/SGTML spec work has been done outside the W3C. I don't feel knowledgeable enough to make an informed comment.
