I'm suggesting in 2009, it was random cool research (I actually can't even remember whether it was being funded by chrome back then), not something with a real and true plan to become what it is now.
That really didn't happen until late 2010 or 2011, AFAIK.
I think I could debate this point with you, but I just clicked up the thread to see the context (I only found this subthread because I follow your comments) and can now see why we wouldn't want to perpetuate this subthread.
Your original point, that Portable Nacl is within the original charter of the Nacl project, was valid, even if we can quibble about the timelines. :)
