I don't think anyone at the time was interested in figuring out HTML. Everyone here kept pointing out how we should forget about HTML and move to XML already. There certainly was less innovation, as the browsers were busy reverse engineering each other (primarily Internet Explorer at first) in order to get back some market share in a mostly broken market. That could have happened in a more coordinated fashion (and in the end did, see WHATWG). -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
