W3C process aside, if only one engine is going to implement the spec
there's not much point in spending energy in a standards body writing the
spec.

I can't say that Mozilla would never implement the spec --- the future is
uncertain, and a contributor might just appear with an implementation ---
but the list of things we want to invest in that are higher priority is
very, very long.

I'm still a little puzzled by the fact that most of the energy in this
group lately has been directed towards MIDI when it seems self-evident to
me that Web Audio is far more important and still needs a lot of work.
