"Standards" which can not be implemented using an Open Source license chosen by the implementer are not part of that. To some extend it is funny to watch closed source proponents attempting to (re-)define "Open" in a way which is incompatible with Open Source. But it also is somewhat insulting to the human mind. Talk about the "Web Platform" if you like, but please do the world a favor and stop claiming to support the "Open Web Platform". Frankly, I consider this to be demagogic. Cheers, Andreas
