"Vendor-specific enhancements" are not a part of the standard by definition. If the project is built upon vendor quicksand then technical leadership has failed (unless the product is meant to target only one browser).

I don't get the argument. You're right that there's no multi-select-list standard. What is the problem if there are 20x custom ones? Just use the one that meets all your needs. Who cares if there are 20 or 200?
- tabtab 8y agoI thought I explained that already. Let me try to say it a different way: if there is no decent standard multi-select widget (as an example), you get lots of small shops reinventing their own. They have too few users/testers to have a reliable product. A standard multi-select would probably have more users and more vetters, making it more reliable in the longer run. Custom JS widgets going kerplunk is a growing maintenance headache here.
- tabtab 8y agoClarification: I include vendors & suppliers of JS widgets in "small shops reinventing their own".
