Can WebM already be called an open standard?

[micu]

Hi everybody, 

The FSF applauds Google for its decision to remove H.264 from its 
browsers and its push for WebM; and the FSF supports WebM:

http://www.fsf.org/news/free-software-foundation-statement-on-webm-and-
vp8

But when it comes to our definition of open standards ---
http://fsfe.org/projects/os/def.en.html: what do you think, can WebM 
already be called an open standard? 

AFAIK, recently FFmpeg released a from-scratch WebM reimplementation, 
which lets criterion 5 (available in multiple complete implementations 
by competing vendors, or as a complete implementation equally available 
to all parties.) at least begin to hold.

But what would you say: Can criterion 4 (managed and further developed 
independently of any single vendor in aw process open to the equal 
participation of competitors and third parties) already be identified to 
be true?

Kind regards
micu
