HN discussionCan't find the specific reference now, but seen it mentioned a few times, here's one: http://paulrouget.com/e/b2gdemo/ Their idea is that it is an HTML5 standard with some additional Javascript hooks for hardware access, so any browser could be the 'core' with only a few tweaks.

HN discussionSounds like Mozilla should invent a low level language with great safety guarantees, maybe even call it after some form of oxidation process[1]. Then make a browser engine called after a motor[2], and then NOT axe the team responsible for it[3]. I think the last part might be crucial.
