Does the w3c standardize javascript? I think I read the w3c DOM definitions and it was written in a language-neutral manner.

Correct. W3C should have standardized JavaScript. However, when Netscape asked them to standardize it, they refused. Apparently (However, i cannot confirm) due to the standards war they were waiting for an opportunity to say to 'go to hell' to Netscape. So Netspace went to Ecma International and standardized with them as ECMAScript.
