This is an admirable effort, but there are some errors. Regarding <b>, 
it’s definitely not “Bold text style” as per HTML5 CR (even though its 
definition for <b> is messy to put it mildly, and <b>
*should* be defined as “bold text style” or, better, “bold font face”, 
but it isn’t, in HTML5).

Similar considerations apply to <i>.

I don’t quite see the idea of including XHTML 2.0, a draft that was 
never completed. If you include it, why not HTML 3.0? It might have had 
more influence: it was never implemented, but it was cited for many 
years after its expiration. XHTML 2.0 has just been forgotten.
