Is this a Google-only proposal? Has Mozilla provided their thoughts on the matter?

When you have questions like this, the best places to check are the "standards positions" Github repositories for Mozilla and WebKit.

Mozilla hasn't officially weighed in, but one decision maker (hsivonen) did vote in favor of it.

Apple WebKit is officially in favor of it, as of just a few days ago.

As far as I can see out-of-order streaming is only half the described functionality – there is also HTML streaming & revamped DOM parsing which does not have the positive signals that out-of-order streaming does:

Yea we've been working with Mozilla and Apple on that one as well but they haven't responded to the standards position yet. I am sure that we'll reach something that's within consensus.

We've worked on the design closely together with Mozilla/Apple folks and with multiple external partners that want to use it.
