Hmm.. come to think of it. It's quite a pity that that is what the 
charter says. Would have been better to say that the language should 
have been based on the markup that is currently used on the internet. 
Too bad we didn't think of that earlier.

Personally I'm much more interested in dealing with the HTML language 
that people use on the web today, not with the hypothetical language 
that is in the HTML4 spec.

FWIW, the WA1 doc is derived from the HTML4 spec, but I don't suppose 
that will make you feel any better..
