This is interesting. jQuery started as a way to smooth over the variations delivered by different browser implementations. So by it's nature it's goal is delivering a better experience for developers using JS. The tension i see is that browser implementations by their very nature are a deviation and departure from the standard. jQuery is a repair process on someone else's broken shit. So, jQuery has lots of anti-patterns for how things shouldn't be done, and some of the workarounds that are actively in deployment. It'll be interesting to see whether this injects a voice for sanity and practicality into the discussion process, or whether this will just make conversations about standards more vociferous.
