If this isn't an implication that Mozilla isn't an other party, than I'm not sure what you were trying to say with "Which other parties?".
Whatever you meant to say, it read as an implication that Mozilla just does what Google does so Mozilla isn't really an "other party".
>Google must submit to the other WHATWG members doesn't make any sense in an argument for restoring XSLT or JPEG XL.
The comment you replied to was speaking generally, not specifically to XSLT or JPEG XL. They obviously didn't say "Google should be barred from having standards positions" just in context of XSLT/JPEG XL, but they're totally cool with the Google monopoly with every other standard.
>You seem to be reading subtext into a statement that was put plainly.
Nah, I'm really not.
But I'm just farming downvotes, apparently, so nevermind. You win! yay
(It's fun that people are coming to a conversation over 24 hours old, however many levels deep, to downvote!)
It means exactly what it says: "What other parties do you mean?". Key players are already in lockstep on this decision, so insisting that Google must submit to the other WHATWG members doesn't make any sense in an argument for restoring XSLT or JPEG XL.
You seem to be reading subtext into a statement that was put plainly.
