But for this to be a full success, the other vendors will also need to come on board. Can't think of a more important feature that needs standardization than intents. So once this gets standardized:
- Mozilla probably will implement, because (barring minor transgressions) they care about users more than everyone else.
- Microsoft may, because any chance of increasing their 2.5% market share depends on maximal interop and web-apps being a genuine cross-platform solution to make up for the lack of apps in their App store.
- Apple and Safari. This is going to take time, if ever. They might even come up with their own solution, requiring developers to implement two solutions to do the same thing. Strategy-wise, web apps becoming more potent is not in their interest.
