The owner of record for this document is Mike Shaver (shaver@mozilla.org), and all errors or omissions within it are first and foremost his responsibility. Brendan Eich (brendan@mozilla.org) continues to drive the vision and architecture of the platform in the large, and his influence on the platform roadmap is both significant and indispensible. In the case of a tie, disputes will be settled by single combat.

There are several major areas of development for Gecko 1.9, intended to serve both the applications built on top of it (chiefly Firefox 3) and applications built on the web which need or would benefit from improvements in web technology. Many of these web-facing enhancements will be implementations of existing standards, in whole or in part. Some will be new standards.
