> A great comment to refer to the next time some young coder that never lived through IE6 says it's great to have one single engine everywhere. OP is suggesting that Chrome should have spearheaded a spec that no one but Intel and Google ever showed any interest in. How would that not have been literally "they like a standard (or propose one), they implement it, use it on their projects like google doc, and let the competition deal with the mess"[1]? Instead they're implementing a spec with broad involvement and support across browsers, it's just taking longer. Seems like exactly how we'd want things to go.
