I asked Daniel to remove his name from the "committee members" page. Benchmarks 
are a sensitive subject, and the product team actually has a position open 
around browser performance[1]. Clearly that person, when hired, could help with 
our efforts in RoboHornet, if we think this is worthwhile to pursue. In the 
meantime, I would prefer to see someone who has been involved in benchmark 
design to decide our position with respect to this benchmark.

I think it's interesting that most of the people on the RoboHornet committee 
are web developers and not browser developers. Their experience may encourage 
them to choose different tests than a browser developer might. But the tests 
should still be good ones!
