Internetnews: Is The Web Ready For HTML 5?
If Mozilla, Opera and Apple’s Safari browser have their way, the HTML specification (define) could be getting its first major point update in a decade.
The three vendors have banded together in a proposal to the W3C for the HTML 5 specification, which includes Web Apps 1.0 and Web Forms 2.0 specifications and that it’s also backwards compatible with HTML 4.
“HTML5 is about preserving the information people have accumulated over the years,” Opera spokesperson Anne van Kesteren told internetnews.com. “By remaining backward and forwards compatible, we hope to ensure that people will be able to interpret HTML for decades if not centuries to come.”
