"Webkit and its offshoots have the ability to innovate on the edge because that body and its impact kept the web open." I don't agree. I'd say the web saving itself from IE's grip had a lot more to do with Microsoft sitting on its ass and doing virtually nothing to push things forward once they got 90% share. If Firefox didn't have its impressive extension mechanism or webkit in the form of Chrome wasn't so damned fast or the whole mobile browser didn't become a thing, people would still largely be using IE, and none of those circumstances has a single thing to do with the W3C, really. IMO, the fact that this is even being discussed but now in the context of Webkit instead of IE shows that the W3C isn't really that relevant when it comes to pushing the web along.
