The W3C or its working groups are not standards committees, no matter 
how much they might present themselves that way. There is actually a 
standard on HTML (ISO HTML), but few people know about it and even fewer 
care about it; it's an uninteresting minor modification of HTML 4.

Non-funnily, standards committees often agree on the (English) language 
to a surprising degree. They have their own rules for things and 
notations, sometimes deviating from everyone else's English.
