While I rather did like HTML 5.<span style="text-decoration: overline">5</span> (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Apr/0225.html ), -- it would rather prevent people from tyring to agree on a DTD -- I do have a more serious question about the name: Suppose the proposal to use WHATWG's HTML5 as a starting point were not approved by the HTML WG. (I agree that this is unlikely since the charter seems to guarantee that 2/3 of the members will be representatives of WHATWG.) In this unlikely event, there could be a problem. That is WHATWG's HTML is already known somewhat broadly as HTML5, meaning that W3C might need a different name for its reco, if that were to happen. That is, HTML5 is probably acceptable to all parties, provided that the proposal to accept WHATWG as a starting point is first approved. cheers, David
