Standards
SpiderMonkey implements ECMA-262 edition 5 (ECMAScript), along with ECMA-357 (ECMAScript for XML (E4X)) and several added features. Although E4X support is still present, SpiderMonkey no longer allows E4X syntax when running in ECMAScript 5 "strict mode", and developers plan to remove support for E4X.
Even though SpiderMonkey is used in Firefox, it does not provide host environments such as Document Object Model (DOM).

Famous quotes containing the word standards:
“A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To arrive at a just estimate of a renowned man’s character one must judge it by the standards of his time, not ours.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
