By halting the XHTML2 work and announcing more resources for the HTML5 project, the World Wide Web Consortium has sent a clear signal on the future markup language for the Web: it will be HTML5. Unfortunately, the decision comes at a time when many working with Web standards have taken issue with the way the HTML5 specification is being developed. The shut down of the XHTML2 Working Group has brought to a head a long-standing set of concerns related to how the new specification is being developed. The following page outlines the current state of development and suggests that there is a more harmonious way to move forward. By adopting some or all of the proposals outlined below, the standards community will ensure that the greatest features for the Web are integrated into HTML5. http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/a-new-way-forward/ -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Bitmunk 3.1 Released - Browser-based P2P Commerce http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2009/06/29/browser-based-p2p-commerce/
