How does the standard disallow independent browser implementations?
1 comments

Same as Microsoft's OOXML standard. There are independent implementations but not one is 100% compatible. Even if that complexity wasn't deliberate on MS's part, it's surely a welcome feature.

And AFAIK OOXML isn't currently evolving as much as this Open Web.
