Kinda. WHATWG (who do the actual work on HTML) have dropped the version number and made HTML a living standard: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/ https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/ See also the FAQ: https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#What_does_.22Living_Standard.22_mean.3F https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#What_does_.22Living_Standar...
