Right now, a ton of vendors spend a lot of time on negotiating standards, which are written in English. And then that English is translated into code. And at this point, it's really just for the sake of Gecko – every other major player just uses a derivative of Webkit.
So, if you had Mozilla take stewardship over Blink, you wouldn't really need a "standard" anymore. Everyone could just use the same rendering engine, and the code itself would act as the "standard". Each vendor could then build their own chrome around it.
Instead of everyone trying to implement the same stuff the same exact way in multiple rendering engines, forces could be combined.
