>I believe Brendan Eich is suggesting that the preferred process is for a technology to be defined by a draft of a spec, and have multiple implementations' interfaces settle down before being standardized, rather than having one definitive implementation that unilaterally determines what is settled down and what isn't.

As in, Mozilla would implement a common core of NaCL features, perhaps omitting some of the less-core ones that Chrome has, and adding their own extensions, and they could see what was good and what was bad, and experimental features could gradually become part of the standard? Sure, sounds good.

But for google to try and define a standard when they only have the only one immature implementation would just be stupid.
