Sure, I know it. But the fact is that there are no web standards for those things yet, and the W3C working groups have just been set up, so it's the best time to make the right standards from the beginning.

It's obviously better to have a standard comittee of paper pushers, tabling motions.
Then when real world intervenes, you can have so many revisions and enhancements to the standard, keep the meetings going for years & years :)
Actually implementing something to see the real problems.. how crude!

I agree, how can Mozilla be so on the wrong path and try implementing stuff and discussing the new standards and implementation problems with other stakeholders (in WHATWG, W3C, etc.) at the same time, when a bunch of people without programming knowledge could gather behind their desks for a few months or years and present some well-thought-out and multiple-times-revised clean spec off a traditional standard committee...
