So what comes out will probably be a (perhaps evolved) version of
WHATWG stuff, as has been the case in some other W3C groups already.
That would be excellent.
Perhaps I was overly worried, because I couldn't tell from the
announcement where this is going.
I hope so :)
Or will the WHAT WG activities continue with an endorsement from the
W3C?
I would be very surprised. As Tim notes, the WHATWG doesn't have what
he calls "accountability measures" (by which I think he means a process
with more of the checks and balances that are found in W3C's), which
would make it hard for W3C to endorse anything WHATWG have yet to do.
I don't expect the W3C to endorse the WHAT WG itself. What I meant to
ask if the WHAT WG spec drafts continue to be worked on under the banner
of the W3C.
This is an existing trend so I don't see why it wouldn't continue...
