So here we are at the end of the year, when Apple promised they would have the joint standard approved and rolling out. From reading the emails I receive from the group developing the standard, Apple is still the hold-up, mainly over the IP and what their commitment not to assert claims factually means. The noise I'm hearing is that because of this the entire effort may end up abandoned.

AFAICT Google is ready, willing, and able, but the standard is not progressing as promised. 

Your timing is impeccable. Stand by!
