I very much agree with this comment. The worst thing for those of us trying to make use of the web platform in new contexts (such as on TVs) is to have to read and understand thousands of pages of minor differences and extensions specified by umpteen different and opaque standards organizations. Certainly, some of the devices those groups are concerned with have features and capabilities that haven't traditionally been present on PCs running desktop browsers, but this shouldn't stop people bringing those extensions here to enable access to those capabilities in a consistent way. ...Mark
