Agreed! Google, Apple and Adobe own/use it. If they all want common web standards, why are you implementing different variations?

Unless there is a security risk or something glaring we're missing...

Edit: Atleast IE9 and IE10 pass the Acid3 test 100/100. Not sure how that reflects on html5/css3.

How are they owning it? WebKit is open source.

WebKit is open source, and you can fork it. But you can't make changes to the main version unless they are approved, and Apple is the gatekeeper there.

They're the primary developers.
