Wasm is the first major thing I can remember all the browsers agreeing on in a very long time, or ever.

Agreeing of course, after trying to do it on their own and then realizing they were thinking a lot of the same things.

Uh, flexbox, grid, fetch, service workers, even shadow DOM...? The cooperation between browser vendors has been exceptional over the last five years.

Are any of those as large and potentially as broad as wasm?
