Yes, I know it sounds weird for a introduction, but I think the book's 
author (David Herman) just wants to draw attention to this book using a 
colloquial style.

Even the ECMA TC39 page states that "ECMAScript™ is more commonly known 
by the name JavaScript™ [...]".

and

"The ECMAScript™ specification has been developed by Ecma TC39 whose 
membership includes all major browser vendors."

See <http://www.ecma-international.org/memento/TC39-M.htm>

Therefore, in a sense, we might say that the Ecma TC39 committee is 
responsible for the standardization of "JavaScript".
