I am not really a fan of the "Web" prefix anymore. It is pretty clear these are specifications for the web platform. No need to say so in the title. We prefixed it initially because we thought there would be a group of people against a somewhat drastic revision of the DOM. This turned out much better than expected so we could drop the prefix. I think we are now at the point where we could drop the suffix. The reason for giving it a version number is that the W3C works with snapshots at the moment. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
