Web Standards: From Idea to Implementation

The provided text outlines the comprehensive process of web standards development for HTML and CSS, particularly for engineers on the Blink team. It details the roles of key organizations like WHATWG (for living HTML/DOM standards) and W3C (for CSS and other APIs, via working groups like CSSWG), emphasizing consensus-building and cross-vendor collaboration. The lifecycle of a web feature is explained, from identifying a problem and drafting an explainer to incubation in groups like WICG, prototyping, formal specification writing, horizontal reviews (TAG, security, accessibility), and ultimately shipping and maintaining the feature with a focus on interoperability through Web Platform Tests (WPT). The document also provides guidance for engineers on how to onboard into standards work and grow into a leadership role.
