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:
“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)
“As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
