Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs,

I am pleased to announce that HTML 5.1 2nd Edition is a W3C Candidate 
Recommendation:

   https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/CR-html51-20170620/

The approval and publication are in response to this transition request:
   https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2017AprJun/0126.html

Please provide feedback by 2017-07-18 as follows:
file a GitHub issue with the label “errata" 
<https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new>.

This publication is the result of returning the HTML 5.1 REC as a 
Candidate Recommendation. The substantive change in this edition is a 
editorial bug (replacing http with https) accidentally introduced in one 
of the updates of HTML 5.1, which doesn't involve any new features, so 
there is no new things added to the previous wide review of HTML 5.1.

There were no Formal Objections.

Patent disclosures relevant to this specification may be found on the 
Web Platform Working Group's patent disclosure page in conformance with 
W3C policy:
   https://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/83482/status

As the Advisory Committee review begins at the same time as Candidate 
Recommendation, you may start to review the specification and indicate 
whether you endorse it as a W3C Recommendation or object to its 
advancement by completing the following questionnaire:
   https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/html51-2-cr/

The review will end no less than 4 weeks after publication as a Proposed 
Recommendation. Additional details about the review are available in the 
questionnaire.

This Call for Implementations and Review follow section 6.4 "Candidate 
Recommendation" of the W3C Process Document:
   https://www.w3.org/2017/Process-20170301/#candidate-rec

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, Director, and
Philippe Le Hégaret, Project Management Lead;

HTML 5.1 2nd Edition
W3C Candidate Recommendation, 20 June 2017

This version:
   https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/CR-html51-20170620/
Latest published version:
   https://www.w3.org/TR/html51/

Abstract:
This specification defines the 5th major version, first minor revision 
of the core language of the World Wide Web: the Hypertext Markup 
Language (HTML). In this version, new features continue to be introduced 
to help Web application authors, new elements continue to be introduced 
based on research into prevailing authoring practices, and special 
attention continues to be given to defining clear conformance criteria 
for user agents in an effort to improve interoperability.

Status of this document:
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its 
publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of 
current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical 
report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at 
https://www.w3.org/TR/.

This specification defines the 2nd edition of the 5th major version, 
first minor revision of the core language of the World Wide Web: the 
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In this version, a significant error 
with HTML 5.1 has been rectified, as noted in the Errata corrected section.

Errata for this document are recorded as Github issues with the "errata" 
label. The latest HTML editors' draft shows proposed resolutions of 
errata in situ.

All interested parties are invited to provide implementation and bug 
reports and other comments through the Working Group's Github 
repository. These will generally be considered in the development of 
HTML 5.2.

The implementation report produced for HTML 5.1 demonstrates that in 
almost every case changes are matched by interoperable implementation.

The Working Group aims to produce an HTML 5.2 Recommendation in late 
2017 that would obsolete this Recommendation.

This document was published by the Web Platform Working Group as a 
Candidate Recommendation. This document is intended to become a W3C 
Recommendation. Feedback and comments on this specification are welcome. 
Please use Github issues. Historical discussions can be found in the 
public-html@w3.org archives. W3C publishes a Candidate Recommendation to 
indicate that the document is believed to be stable and to encourage 
implementation by the developer community. This Candidate Recommendation 
is expected to advance to Proposed Recommendation no earlier than 18 
July 2017.

Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by 
the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, 
replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is 
inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 
2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent 
disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that 
page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual 
who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes 
contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance 
with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.

This document is governed by the 1 March 2017 W3C Process Document.
