Hi Katie, Leonie, I have to admit my first reaction to obsoleting 5.0 was surprise, however, I think it will help with a common misconception. People outside the W3C tend to assume things are standardised then implemented, whereas (and please forgive the simplification) the reality is more a case of standardising once things are implemented. Marking the latest HTML spec as the ‘one to look at’ (by marking all previous ones as not) is a better reflection of reality, so I think there is a good reason to obsolete the 5.0 version. Therefore, I support the change. Cheers, -Alastair
