Hi,
I just checked in a change which moves the WHATWG from working on
versioned specifications ("HTML5") to just working on technology without
trying to version it ("HTML").
This doesn't really mean much from the point of view of how the WHATWG
operates, since we've never really paid much attention to version numbers.
It brings us closer to how most implementors have always operated. We will
continue to track the state of individual sections using the little status
annotations in the margin.
Since the W3C is still focused on getting HTML5 to last call, I'll
maintain a WHATWG copy of the HTML spec that matches what the W3C HTML WG
is working on:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/html5/
I've updated the FAQ's explanation of what specs exist, in case you want
to get an overview (it's getting somewhat complicated!):
