@oblomov @cstross @jwz @lisamelton And then we know how much Google pays Apple yearly since, well... neither 2004, the WHATWG start, nor 2008, the Chrome start, but... did you guess when?
2005.

It's all coincidence until it isn't.
Google's enclosure of the web has over two decades of history, back when their motto was still "Don't be Evil".

@oblomov @cstross @jwz @lisamelton At any rate, Dave Hyatt was a former Mozilla dev who switched to Apple and started Safari, and so this entire thing.
He was also representing Apple at WHATWG from what I understand.

@oblomov @cstross @jwz by the way, @lisamelton might have some views.

@jens @cstross @jwz yeah, this is also something I tried pointing out on the subsequent rapid expansion of Chrome. Everybody was saying ยซrelax, (the core) is free softwareยป. Which matters very little when the only thing that truly matters is who controls the platform. FLOSS is not immune to the dangers of monocultures (or of corporate control for that matter).
