I agree with all of the points in this article. Even if you believe that PPK is 100% right about the "problem", I truly can't grok the notion that a moratorium would somehow "solve" anything. From my observation, when standards are actually under development and look like they will have first class support in the browser, proliferation of stopgap solutions is much lower because people would rather wait for "standard" support of whatever feature they're trying to implement. Also I think that aside from IE, browsers do a good job of getting standard features done, which is sort of amazing considering they don't have the "benefit" of top-down bureaucratic governance like the "native" platforms. As a notable exception WebRTC is a bit of a clusterfog it seems, but I'm sure that will get worked through without too much ado.
