I'm curious: what are the web standards/specifications that webkit does not implement, efficiently or at all, that prevent all but niche or insignificantly important functionality?
For that matter, what critical new functionality has been introduced in the web standards/specifications over the last 20 years that was not possible to implement prior? My quick and uninformed take is just: video.
As a casual web developer, it feels very much like the CSS, HTML, and Web API specifications are wellwell beyond what is critical and deep into the "specifications capture" phase of how companies compete.
