What we need is; (1) browser developers that understand details of what they are supposed to do and (2) a management level that understands about what needs to be done, and why, and from there can forward correct tasks descriptions to the implementors. Todays multimillion distributions of "so called" browsers clearly shows that the blame for lousy performance shall be placed at level (2) above. [...] > HTTP is still under IETF control.
