I am the Apple representative and I am on the Safari team. (You  
didn't meantion Safari on your list, but by most metrics(*) it has  
more overall browser market share than either Opera or Konqueror, so  
I hope we count as a major player.)

I can't commit to any specific future plans on Apple's behalf.  
Personally, I would like to see Safar/WebKit changed to conform  
specifications that cover existing de facto standards. This will be a  
benefit for cross-browser compatibility. For standards that define  
new features, we would have to decide on a case by case basis.

There are others involved with various web browsers on the WG. I will  
let them speak for themselves.
