I find this a bit ironic coming from 37signals. Isn't this the sort of "opinionated" behavior that they champion in Getting Real? Maybe DHH has a good reason for thinking it's different, but I'd like to see it spelled out.

When you have the might to dictate an entire industry, you have a different set of responsibilities.

  I agree with the basis of this article, re: their responsibility. But, as of late, I'm not sure we have anything to go on to say that they are acting poorly. Pushing web standards seems like a good position for an industry leader to take. Seems like any large corporate power, like Google, we just have to expect the worse and hope for the best.

    To give one example: for compatibility, it would be tremendously useful if they released specifications for AirPlay. Eg. Rogue Amoeba had to reverse engineer it for their AirFoil product.
