He's very familiar with standards-positions repos no doubt, and it reads like a typical defense against Google rolling something out without getting input. They don't suggest changes, they just try to throw out the whole thing. I think they might be hoping that if it ges thrown out, a collaborative effort will be formed to write if from scratch rather than start from the perspective of the Google Chrome team. I haven't seen it happen that way much, though, so I think it would be better if they just suggest specific changes to it rather than rejecting it.
