DRM retardedness
Lets face it, proprietary things being standardized is the only way for the web to progress. ECMAScript? XMLHR? Canvas? innerHTML? SVG? Favicon? Cookies? Yes, they are all the product of "patented" technology being standardized, and the entire web is based around them (Canvas is a notable exception but watch this space). Now lets see what "standards" the open sores community has come up with. Ogg Vorbis? MNG? Hell, the only website I know that uses either of these is Wikipedia for the shitty embedded videos, which is a questionable real world "use" because nobody has ever actually found a reliable way to view them.
