Sure they may have an idea about what changes need to be made, but they aren't in the position to be physically implementing it or maybe there are things that they're missing because they aren't commonly practicing the trade.

But if this difference really helps then the standards groups have to expand to incorporate it. We have seen that if a technology helps, it gets used on the field, and ends up in the competing team if it is not acknowledged by the standards group. In fact, a speedy evolution of these technologies can make the standards group drag itself. Maybe W3C has been doing things as it was earlier, but the technologies outside are evolving much faster, making them appear slower.
