2017 to 2022, that is 5 years. But its 4 companies (Apple, Google, Microsoft & Mozilla) that all need to agree in setting this Web Components standard. So it can feel like slow progress. But.. once a standard, it will will last for another 27 JavaScript years. And anyone who has been in this "Internet" business for that long can tell you how valuable that is. Remember IE once had 90% market share.. guess how much market share Facebook will have in N years time. PS. The WHATWG is by invitation only, and we all wonder if those 4 companies will invite Facebook.

It is NOT about Technology, it is about Who creates Technology.
