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:
“Barbarism is the absence of standards to which appeal can be made.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“With his brows knit, his mind made up, his will resolved and resistless, he advances, crashing his way through the host of weak, half-formed, dilettante opinions, honest and dishonest ways of thinking, with their standards raised, sentimentalities and conjectures, and tramples them all into dust. See how he prevails; you don’t even hear the groans of the wounded and dying.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Chief among our gains must be reckoned this possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of life, where other civilizations have recognized only one. Where other civilizations give a satisfactory outlet to only one temperamental type, be he mystic or soldier, business man or artist, a civilization in which there are many standards offers a possibility of satisfactory adjustment to individuals of many different temperamental types, of diverse gifts and varying interests.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
