The context doesn't change the meaning. The previous sentence talks about engaging in a (separate, different) standardisation process with others, and this sentence then does a jarring context switch by instead talking about a seemingly unilateral action (albeit thankfully in the negative, so only the tone is of concern).
- dragonwriter 8y agoNo, the sentence in question is—and the context you are dismissig makes this abundantly clear, though it is also the most natural reading of the sentence in isolation, IMO—using “standardize” to mean “seek to establish as an industry standard through the process of a standards body.” (Note that while I think the language is clear, I think this whole approach from Google is ill-conceived to the point of borderline lunacy; there is no need for these to be special-case subdomains or for them to be treated specially by UIs at all.)
