"completely ignoring the standards group"?

Look at their off-line standard. They took it to the standardization body who changed it so completely that it was a different beast. Google did the right thing and phased out their old legacy stuff and switched to the standard. In fact IIRC they didn't even put the legacy stuff in Chrome.

Sure. There are lots of parts of Google and Chrome that play very nice with standards groups and whatnot.

And there are various other parts that don't.
