For the purposes of this discussion, please consider "open spec" to mean "committee and community controlled by interests ultimately subsisting of more than one share pool.", if you follow this definition the majority of Google's "open" efforts fall apart.
For the PNacl bit, I think the tech sounds great, I just think the reason this "arrow" survived Page's recent cull is because they have significant interests in it, and that's what the article is about.
