So the "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" strategy is the new "standards" vogue? As I tried to say, isn't this what we got up in arms against Microsoft for? Its a minor improvement as people tend to at least write up the new "standards", but the problem with IE wasn't that their additions were unreplicable - it was that they were not replicated.

Also, your example is a false dichotomy. I can be concerned about the "standardisation" process usage I'm seeing without demanding a glacial and purely theoretic process.
