The problem is when they run off and code something and implement it in Chrome, and then when design problems are found in it during the standardization process they say "well it's deployed in too many units already to fix now", effectively reducing the pool of outside experts in the standards orgs to a bunch of rubber-stamping copy editors.
- dchest 15y agoAny examples?
- marshray 15y agoI hesitate to point at examples because I like all the people involved and feel it's not worth making look like more than they are. But I do think there is some basis for the sentiment. So if you are interested, you could study the process by which the HTTP Origin header came to not allow double quotes. There will always be a natural tension between those shipping code and a standardization process.
