I don't really like this, or at least how it sounds.

I don't really like this, or at least how it sounds. 1. Google implements this 2. Chrome becomes the fastest browser by a wide margin 3. Other browsers die or become minor players 4. Google leverages this to enforce their own changes into the HTML/Javascript domain, "for the better" of the web and maybe even into mobile. 5. Web is broken unless you use Chrome The pain developers suffered before dealing with IE4-6 will be nothing to the repercussions we face now if we have to continue being backwards compatible with some version of Chrome because website X is "Chrome only" in the future. Hell it's already happened a bit with the new HTML5 features. Hell Korea is still paying for the mistakes of committing to go with IE. Feel like it ends up being Google's version of EEE. Also, keep in mind, this "SoundScript", even if its in the early stages, has not been declared as being open source, so it is closed source at the moment. This makes me feel that at best SoundScript will be open source like Android is open source. Release stuff but keep the latest version for Google to use.
