And maybe even some not so recent standards. Chrome has an extremely novel feature:

I can use my media keys...

...to control the playback of my media.

Why didn't anyone think of that before? :)

Uh? Media keys are supposed to control system volume.

Volume controls aren't the only type of media keys. There's also pause, backwards, forwards and others. Most of them don't make much sense in the context of the OS, so applications need custom handling for them.
