Wow!
Fun side fact: there are two “HTML5”, one by each group; one has
had a formal release, the other is “a living standard”, i.e. can
change on a whim; both are indistinguishable from each other.
I’ve had it had with them and just stick to XHTML/1.1 for my own
webpages. That’s more than sufficient.
