If we target standards, then the standards are driving. The browser gets supported when it builds to the standards. Perhaps the issue will then be getting standards in place quickly around new capabilities?
Then maybe the standards process needs disruption. But if we don't build to standards then we are building roads that only certain cars can drive.
This is unfortunately not true - browsers are driving. Especially when entity everyone uses (Google) also owns the most popular browser. They can, and did, implement non-standard features that only worked in Chrome. Super cool tech demos, you have to see it, just install this browsers from an advertising company. What could go wrong?
