As I understand it, two issues drive the need for standardization of modules: 1) we want one environment for all JS, 2) to move beyond the limitations of RequireJS and CommonJS requires parsing, and that is considered too expensive for library implementations. The first point is obvious, the second one is implicit in the blog posts by Isaac and James.
In other words, I gather that Isaac, James and others believe that there exists a parser based dependency analysis solution that does not require the significant new ES harmony syntax. Since we have Traceur, esprima-harmony and similar transpilers, we can try ES-Harmony vs TBD-better-option. But we need said option to show up. jjb
