I agree browser's internal definitions are not good examples here, and
frozen interface definitions are not very interesting.

For the static programming languages which are trying to support the
Web platform, I think the following characteristics would be
necessary:

* frequent SDK updates: the SDK should keep catching up with browsers
quickly as they support new, updated Web specifications.
* backward binary compatibility: the application programs developed
with the former SDKs should run with browsers as long as browsers
retain the required features for ECMAScript.
