Fall short of my standards? I am talking about web standards defined here: http://www.w3c.org/ for HTML/DOM/CSS, http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm

Many of these are defacto standards, evolved by the industry/other groups with little or no gov participation. ecma is a group of propreitary companies agreeing upon a few "standards". Any "standards" set by such groups cannot be accepted automatically as "standard". Each has to be taken case by case, item by item, and after careful evaluation, adopt it for public use, if they do pass any common test that may be devised for this purpose.
