Quoting Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis <bhawkeslewis@googlemail.com>: > > More importantly, the HTML5 work is what is relevant to implementors. > While this may very well be the case, implementors are not the only audience/consumers of HTML, or of the HTML4 and XHTML1 Recommendations. Not every web developer/author gets to implement the latest and greatest that HTML5 purports to offer: often they are held back by corporate policy (etc.) and are restricted to using only HTML4 and/or XHTML1 (which are finalized Recommendations). Often times these corporate restrictions are "enforced" by legal mandates (etc.), misguided as that may seem to some. Not every web project is the next twitter/facebook/instagram/mailchimp/Oooh-shiny-new-distracting-and-edgy project. They call them Standards for a reason. JF
