Right. We continue to use the word "standard", but a significant proportion of these things are, in effect, unilateral proposals from Google.
Are they good proposals? How could they be improved? Do they meet the needs of the various interested parties, most especially end-users? Taken together, are they coherent, do they compose and complement each other, do they move toward a robust, comprehensive software framework?
Maybe it's happening, but I don't see these questions being asked a lot, much less addressed. Should we all just trust in Google? And expect Apple, MS, and other browser vendors to do so as well, not to mention implement Google's APIs as quickly as they come out?
No doubt, there is a lot of good work coming out of Google, but overall, I don't think the present system will be sustainable nor result in a good web.
