Let's not chicken count. The WHATWG work isn't finished yet. The HTML working group hasn't decided that they are going to work towards HTML 5 yet. The WHATWG work hasn't been adopted by the HTML working group yet. There is a discussion taking place where a number of people are disagreeing with the idea of the working group doing so. If we assume that the working group DOES take the WHATWG work as a starting point, then there's still no certainty that its going to stick with the current idea to removing any label that identifies what specification the document is supposed to conform to. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
