My question then, as now: why not standardize an API like this? Mozilla obviously spends a great deal of time thinking about and advocating for the future of the web, so I imagine they've thought about it.

- shadowmint 12y agoTo be fair, you cant just 'standardise' on something without feedback. A polyfill for a new API implementation + feedback + people using it is probably the right path to take towards standardising. eg. If no one uses this much, dont bother. If lots of people do, push for it as a standard.
