The prose needs some attention, for instance:
"Internet Explorer for Pocket PC, later rebranded Internet Explorer Mobile for Windows Mobile was also developed, and remain in development alongside the more advanced desktop versions."
"Other proprietary standards include, support for vertical text, but in a syntax different from W3C CSS3 candidate recommendation."
"Support for obfuscated script code, in particular JScript.Encode()." That is not a sentence. The last paragraph of Standards extensions needs to be rewritten.
The title Standards extensions seems to imply a particular pov. Standards are either met or they're not.
