From the Executive Summary: "Push for Dash to become an open standard and be adopted by other browsers."

I think the "Don't be evil" factor is well represented on that sentence.

It's clear that adoption by other browsers is a prerequisite for really being able to use this, unless Chrome manages to corner the browser market.

It's clear that other browsers won't adopt something like this without an open standard.

So this is not "don't be evil" but simple pragmatics.

"Don't be evil" would involve doing something other than presenting a fait accompli to a standards body and asking for a rubberstamp.

> Lars has promised to “sweet talk” the other browser vendors

Sweet talking is no evil!
