JS the core language and JS the DOM ("level 0", more or less -- mostly less) originated with me in Netscape 2 in 1995. Why did two standards bodies end up working on these two "JS" aspects? Mostly politics and some division of expert labor flowing from politics of the market powers back then.
I should have added, to back up Norbert and Boris on the core-language vs. web-facing (and often browser-not-server-side web-facing, although the browser/server line is getting blurry) division of labor, that anything to-do with glyphs and font widths and editing is pretty squarely not fit for the core-language specifications that Ecma TC39 governs.
