Snark indeed. All of paragraph 5 could have been left out.
As for the communication part, there is a name which, because it is omitted with so much efforts, can only be noticed: Apple. They are working with Google to enhance Webkit, not Google and Apple, the originator of Webkit.
Apple was, apparently, so slighted by this ommission that we have to forget that Apple derived the WebKit code from KHTML. "Originated" is kind of a strong word.
Must admit, I was surprised to see all this publicity for the demo but they have not posted a patch nor shown their code changes to the folks who maintain WebKit's text layout code.
