One thing everyone ignores. The future of Web standards are now defined by the WHATWG. So Google, Mozilla, Apple and Microsoft together set that standard. Facebook hasn't been invited yet

Facebook as an org seems to have a poor history of contributing to existing open source projects. I very much appreciate all they have given to the community. That goes for anyone who maintains or contributes to open source.

I seriously question the "invited" aspect. First, it looks like the group is mainly the people who build the browsers? And there is a process for submitting to the W3C standards.

I have no idea if it is corporate policy or corporate culture - but Facebook just seems to go their own way with little to no regard for standards unless they have no choice or just happen to like something.
