Good eye with finding XHTML 1.0 as the "latest version of HTML". The XHTML 1.0 specification was the original recommendation of HTML, so the URL http://www.w3.org/TR/html remains as such. I understand, as you mentioned, how that can be confusing for one searching for the latest HTML recommendation. Forwarding http://www.w3.org/TR/html to http://www.w3.org/TR/html5 would make the original XHTML 1.0 specification unaccessible, but perhaps providing a URL to the XHTML namespace would suffice. The namespace points to the major specifications relevant to HTML including the HTML5 working draft, so a browser would be able to find the latest version of HTML from there. ___________ Jace Voracek On Mar 12, 2012, at 8:47 AM, Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> wrote: > Leif Halvard Silli, Mon, 12 Mar 2012 15:16:08 +0100: > >> Well, on HTML4's homepage, [1] there is a link to XHTML 1.0, which is >> presented as the latest version of *HTML*.
