I think that perspective is shortsighted. It isn't that people want to carry over bad decisions. It's that everybody needs to follow the same standard, and it takes a while to get consensus among the many parties involved.
When Microsoft goes and pulls a Microsoft and completely ignores the W3C to implement their own standards, we are heading in the wrong direction. Only recently (IE 9+) did Microsoft start adhering to web standards and its been a relief.
This feels like they are abandoning that, and it's going to give me nightmares.

- ricardobeat 14y agoWe're on the same side. But just having a 'standard' is not enough; it needs to fulfill it's purpose in the most useful way. I'm by no means pro-MS, but they are not abandoning standards, they just proposed one. Google and Mozilla have implemented things their own way for the past half decade before any discussion had started, that doesn't preclude moving to a standard later on.
