Ahahah...
We have someone who thinks that the W3C/OWF has any real power. That's hilarious.
This is what actually happens:
1. Google (Who is a member of both W3C and OWF) announces a plan/ships a feature.
2. With 80% of the browser market, people use it or get excited by it.
3. The W3C/OWF ratifies the feature as a standard.
This is literally how 90% of web standards happen today.

- pwdisswordfish9 4y agoWhat is "OWF" here? Open Web Foundation? If so, that's such a weird choice to mention. It has approximately nothing to do with browser standards. It's not even as if it's a ceremonial figurehead or something. It just has absolutely no place in this discussion...
- RealCodingOtaku 4y agoBeing a member does not give anyone the authority to define a standard. One can propose and vote. Take the recent example for instance, Web Standards Body W3C rejects Google’s ad targeting proposal[0] Browser market share calculation is always dodgy[1].
