      “Just hire more engineers” was the response to that from a Google Tech Lead at TPAC last year

      "Devote more people to web standards" is, I think, a reasonable request to Mozilla and Apple, but we care about people who don't work for browser vendors too, and we shouldn't be drowning out their voices.

      And, okay, Apple has money, but they clearly don't believe there's a business case to increase investment in Safari. Googlers endlessly shouting "well you would be able to respond to us better if you increase resources" doesn't help make that case.

      At this point, when so many standards groups are so dominated by Googlers and when they so often shout over everyone else, it may be the rational business decision is to _withdraw_ from standards. What effect on their business is contributing to the W3C having?

      By and large, Google is shipping what they want regardless of feedback from other vendors. Why bother even investing time in responding to what Google is proposing when your feedback will be ignored anyway?

      Especially when senior members of the Chrome team say "well, when web developers believe interoperability is a significant issue, if they don't match our behaviour it'll become an interop issue so they'll have to match us"…

      If I could make a business decision to invest 30% of my engineers' time on responding to Google proposals for new web platform features, likely with little effect on what Google ship, or invest that same 30% on resolving existing interoperability bugs, obv I'd choose the latter.

      Right. My attitude towards Houdini, for example, is “Google is going to implement whatever they want to anyway regardless of whether I like it, so we’ll see if it takes off and if so I’ll implement it, if not I won’t.”

          The complete process failure of Web Audio has given me little faith in the ability of standards groups to make sound technical decisions.

          Are you talking about old history or has Web Audio gone off the rails again?
