It's not as bad.  It will work equally on all browsers and all
platforms, and several parties will get to compete on some key aspects
of the implementation (such as the speed and stability of the
underlying JavaScript).  It's not much different from any website
using closed-source server-side code.

If you don't have spec changes to propose, this is probably the wrong list.
