I have been reading articles about how Google forking Webkit is going to be a disaster for web standards. I don't get this. When did Webkit become the only implementation of a web browser rendering engine? When did Firefox start using Webkit?
Not everyone remembers the fact that Apple didn't write Webkit from scratch. Some articles do mention the fact that Webkit started out as a fork of the KHTML library. Somehow Konquerer and Firefox still implement web standards without Apple's help.
When did the words "implementation" and "interface" start meaning the same thing?
