::Here: "The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), founded in 1994 to promote open standards for the World Wide Web, brought Netscape Communications and Microsoft together with other companies to develop a standard for browser scripting languages, called "ECMAScript"." The way it's worded it sounds to me like the article is suggesting that W3C created ECMAScript the language.

:::Ah, I see. Are you saying that that sentence should end, "...a standard for browser scripting languages, which is now called "ECMAScript""? Or should the surgery go deeper, to completely separate the development of the DOM from that of the language? What do others think? --[[User:Nigelj|Nigelj]] ([[User talk:Nigelj|talk]]) 08:58, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
::::I think it's even worse than that. This section implies the W3C was invested in the ECMAScript standard, which (according to Doug Crockford - yuiblog.com/crockford/ - Lecture 1), is entirely untrue. In fact, Crockford claims that the W3C did not standardization of JavaScript by Netscape at all, which led to Netscape's odd choice of ECMA for the JavaScript standardization body. The idea the the W3C (a standards body itself) would coordinate with other entities to have a third party standardize a web technology is absurd on its face. It would be like Toyota bringing together a group of companies to design a car for Honda. -[[User:plamoni|plamoni]] ([[User talk:plamoni|talk]]) 21:14, 21 August 2012 (UTC) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/167.80.246.204|167.80.246.204]] ([[User talk:167.80.246.204|talk]]) </span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
