Their promotion style is rather interesting [1]. Implementers such as AGL are bypassing the WG, choosing to emit I-Ds and implementing and deploying because there is little to be gained from WG discussions. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does raise a question of whether what is good for Google is good for the Web as a whole [2]: If, a few years ago, Microsoft did the same thing I have no doubt what the public reaction would be. Sadly, a lot of people still consider Google "don't be evil" heroes of the Internet, despite everything we've seen and heard. The brand loyalty is quite impressive.
