It's a ECMA standard ("ECMAscript").  Of course, Sun and
Microsoft went their own ways a bit on it, but the language itself
is reasonably well defined and the implementations of it don't
differ all too much; it's the document object model that is the
horror when it comes to different implementations.  W3C has
a standard for it, but IE and Netscape differ widely here
(even different versions of each).
