Proper history, including how it is an offspin of ECMAScript

I can't find a definition of "offspin" except in the cricketing sense, so maybe it does indeed mean the reverse of "spinoff", but just for certainty's sake, Javascript was lashed together at Netscape, and only later standardised as ECMAScript. ECMAScript compliance only, without reimplementing all the Netscape Javascript foibles, is not good enough for real-world web browsers.
