Well - let's see how popular this (Servo) will be.

WebApps developers will target the big masses first.  Yes, everyone is
supposed to follow the standards... but there will always be differences,

other engines.

The current market share seems to be in favor of webkit (and soon, Blink -
as Chrome will be based on that at some point):
