"My" HTML document, the HTML 2.0 spec, is supposed to describe current working practice with HTML. The HTML+ effort, led by Dave Raggett, is supposed to add features to HTML to fix deficiencies etc. >From http://www.hal.com/%7Econnolly/html-spec/notes/PubHistory.html : HTML Spec: Publication History PUBLICATION HISTORY[1] In reverse chronological order: 1994 June: HTML 2.0 Spec Review; Dan Connolly and Tim Berners-Lee[2] This is an effort to create a specification for use in the near-term development of commercial implementations of HTML. The plan is that it will be published as an SGML Open Technical Report. 1994 April: HTML test suite; Dan Connolly[3] The internet draft spec for HTML expired, and there has been a lot of noise about a new spec. I've collected a test suite of HTML documents and created a DTD to parse them (with a few minor tweaks.) Included are DTD for HTML[4] that reflects current practice, along with a whole mess of HTML files I got from various places to test it out[5]. This stuff has not been prepared for distribution, but you can check out the Makefile[6] for clues. 1993 November: HTML+ Discussion Document; Dave Raggett[7] Dave Ragget is working on a successor to HTML called HTML+. It is now supported by Bill Perry's w3 mode for emacs and by tkWWW. My comments[8] on the HTML+ spec are under development. 1993 July: <draft-ietf-iiir-html-01.txt[9], .ps> Berners-Lee and Connolly Hypertext Markup Language (HTML): A Representation of Textual Information and MetaInformation for Retrieval and Interchange This internet draft (now expired) was "sponsored" by the Integration of Internet Information Resources (IIIR) working group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It was submitted as a specification for a MIME content type called text/html. 1991 HyperText Mark-up Language; by Tim Berners-Lee [10] Tim Berners-Lee originally drafted this as a somewhat informal reference on the HTML elements. The document has been edited continuously since then, with snapshots published through various means. $Id: PubHistory.html,v 1.1 1994/06/08 20:45:29 connolly Exp $
