Dear all, There has been much discussion[1] about HTML/HTML5 over the past few weeks due to the HTML5 logo and the WHATWG changing the name and stripping the vestiges of HTML versioning. The WHATWG have clearly stated the rationale for the formalisation of the WHAT WG HTML - living standard, one that includes the devaluation of the W3C spec development model. What has been and is clearly missing from this public discourse is the clear articulation (by the W3C) of the role of the W3C in HTML development and the value proposition of the specification process used by the W3C for HTML5. Please provide a clear expalnation of the role of the W3C in the continuing development of HTML [1] a selection http://www.zeldman.com/2011/01/27/html5-vs-html/ http://blog.whatwg.org/html-is-the-new-html5 http://www.infoworld.com/d/developer-world/html-the-standard-failed-585 http://adactio.com/journal/4301/ -- with regards Steve Faulkner Technical Director - TPG www.paciellogroup.com | www.HTML5accessibility.com | www.twitter.com/stevefaulkner HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives - dev.w3.org/html5/alt-techniques/ Web Accessibility Toolbar - www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat-ie-about.html
