I'm a big fan of the "defer commitment" principle. It seems speculative and dangerous to try to create new standards in a field that is evolving so rapidly. We've had a lot of form factor innovation like smartphones and tablets. Other relevant areas like online payments are ripe for innovation as well. How will these new standards respond to the need for matching innovation? Who will maintain them? Will there be versioning? What about backwards compatibility?
- adambyrtek 16y agoIt's not really a standard at this point, it's just an experiment run by Mozilla to get traction and catch up with Chrome. In other words they're doing exactly what you said they should, embracing evolution and innovation in web applications on both desktop and mobile fronts.
- DjDarkman 16y agoI personally feel that they are just wasting time. They should working on providing: - a cross domain JSON request function(they may have already implemented this) - a way to limit the scope of a script tag, prevent a script from accessing the global object and other security features that people really care about.
