I'm not Mark and not part of TC39, but I'll give it a try.
I believe TC39 position is in between your 2 propositions. Aiming at
improving on a solid basis while still codefying de facto standards when
necessary (that is when it's in some implementations and other
implementors are pushed by content to implement it).
I don't get why you're being so hard on TC39. The WHATWG has been doing
*exactly* that for years now; looking at what several browsers implement
and is used in content and codifying it. Beyond the hype, large parts of
HTML5 are de facto standards.
