So what you're saying is that we should let somebody make up some 
mangled mess of a system, and then stamp it as a "standard", rather than 
designing something properly?

Stuff like making something like Flash a standard rather than designing 
SVG? And the single proprietry implementation should be the standard spec?

Isn't that exactly why everybody's so upset with the MS document "standard"?

(Not that your claims are unfounded - AFAIK, nobody has implemented the 
CSS3 drop shadow properties, for example. But then, that's a fairly 
dubious feature in the first place...)
