Awesome. As someone who has watched both W3C and WHATWG grow apart over the evolution of HTML over the past years, I must say this idea is quite interesting. Like many I'm sure, I was quite saddened to see the language being torn in two directions and am sure that with a little good faith from all parties implied, we could just find a way to make one solid recommendation with everyone's logo on it that everyone could be comfortable with and therefore, avoid any further confusion in the minds of web developer and browser vendors alike. > If the HTML WG and the WHATWG don't publish the same specification, > then > I, on behalf of the WHATWG, will ensure that the two specifications > remain > consistent and compatible, by ensuring that the WHATWG > specification is > always a strict superset or more detailed version of the HTML WG spec. In my opinion, this, at the very least, should be something to really look forward to.
