The W3C's job is to standardize implementations. Most standards bodies do not invent on their own. In any case, a standards body will generate the fundamentals allowing the ability to piece together components to create what a developer wants. No standards body is able to come up with every desire of every developer.

The point is: Usually, you must know the rules to break them. In this particular context, looks like the original rules are fading away.

No rules = Anarchy.

Nitpick, but anarchism is not the lack of rules, it's the lack of rulers.

That's not really a nitpick: in case of the Internet, it's the main modus operandi - with various warlords carving out a temporary fiefdom here and there (remember the Browser Wars, when IE had 90%? Brace yourselves, we're headed for a re-run with Chrome), but no actual rulers or enforcement.
