Then my question, what about those who prefer to stick with XHTML?
By "Stick with XHTML" do you mean "not to move to an unstable,
draft markup language"? Plenty of people are happily writing HTML
4.01 and avoiding the pain of Appendix C.
But isn't it going to have XHTML2 as well?
Given that the XHTML working group is being wound up — it seems
unlikely. Whatever 'it' is.
Things HTML5 does not do:
• Does not favor XML facilities (what does this mean? What impact
will it have for sites that were built in XHTML strict and CMS that
parse XML (not just the RSS feed)? )
Rubbish. It has an XML serialization.
• Does not avoid scripting
What does this mean? Scripting has its place.
• Does not consider integration with the SemWeb a priority (and what
does this mean? Is "SemWeb" semantic web? Both Yahoo and Google
adapted Semantic Web, what impact will it have for SEO?)
The relationships to RDFa and other semweb technologies are some of
the more unstable parts of the HTML 5 draft.
So, people like me who are in the web development, but our well-
being are on the mercy of you pioneers, HTML5, XHTML2.0 authors and
W3C's
If you don't like it. Participate in the process.
