北京SEO-星箭

渡虎谷在cnbeta上看到这条消息还以为是瞎说，看了原版才发现还不是瞎说，下面英文的大意是World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)正在考虑激活已经沉睡多年的HTML标准,一个2004年建立的名为 WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group)的开发团体正着眼于解决这些问题,他们发布了HTML5的标准草案,计划取代现有的HTML4和XHTML标准。

这一提议得到Apple,Opera和Mozilla的支持～～

要了解HTML5的朋友可以看一下IBM网站的中文支持。http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cn/xml/x-futhtml1/
英文原版如下：

Dear HTML Working Group,

HTML5, comprising the Web Apps 1.0 and Web Forms 2.0 specifications,
is the product of many years of collaborative effort. It specifies
existing HTML4 markup and APIs with much clearer conformance criteria
for both implementations and documents. It specifies many useful
additions, in many cases drawing on features that have existed in
browser-based implementations for a long time. And it actively draws
on feedback from implementors and content authors. Therefore, we the
undersigned propose the following:

- that the W3C HTML Working Group adops the WHAT Working Group's
HTML5 as the starting point for further HTML development
- that the W3C's next-generation HTML specification is officially
named "HTML 5"
- that Ian Hickson is named as editor for the W3C's HTML 5
specification, to preserve continuity with the existing WHATWG effort

If HTML5 is adopted as a starting point, the contents of the document
would still be up for review and revision, but we would start with
the existing text. A suitable next step might be a high-level review
of functionality added and removed relative to HTML4.01, followed by
focused discussion and review of individual topic areas, including
both content already in the spec and proposed new features.
Discussions should be guided by common principles along the lines of

If the group is agreeable to these proposals, Apple, Mozilla and
Opera will agree to arrange a non-exclusive copyright assignment to
the W3 Consortium for HTML5 specifications.
