Whirlers,
Some of you may have picked this up off a news site (like Slashdot),
but since so many of us deal with HTML, I thought it might be an
interesting topic of discussion.
Summary:
In this two-part series, Edd Dumbill examines the various ways forward
for HTML that Web authors, browser developers, and standards bodies
propose. This series covers the incremental approach embodied by the
WHATWG specifications and the radical cleanup of XHTML proposed by the
W3C. Additionally, the author gives an overview of the W3C's new Rich
Client Activity. Here in Part 1, Edd focuses primarily on two
specifications being developed by WHATWG: Web Applications 1.0 (HTML5)
and Web Forms 2.0.
