Browsers are too complicated and this is bad, for example, for creating more competition. And the reason they are complicated is there is too many web standards and too much legacy to support.

.. race to the bottom. "more competition" for.. ONE thing Google can do, nothing else (ads engine - not document browser).

Want to make browsers easier ? - removing JavaSript and *fixing browser bugs instead* ('outsourced' to the user) will do that better.

BTW JavaSript it's not W3 standard, XSLT is.
