I don't understand why he quotes from w3.org. HTML5 is being developed by whatwg.org
"The WHATWG was founded by individuals of Apple, the Mozilla Foundation, and Opera Software in 2004, after a W3C workshop. Apple, Mozilla and Opera were becoming increasingly concerned about the W3C’s direction with XHTML, lack of interest in HTML and apparent disregard for the needs of real-world authors. So, in response, these organisations set out with a mission to address these concerns and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group was born."
- gsnedders 10y agoBecause we're now in a horrendous mess where the W3C has a fork[0] of the WHATWG spec[1], which semi-regularly takes selected patches from the WHATWG spec… but at times end up with the spec in an inconsistent state. As it is, basically all implementers are working from the WHATWG spec.

- kuschku 10y agoBecause the WHATWG is obviously incompetent, and has created this mess in the first place. Sometimes we need someone to enforce standards, and not just say "anything is valid". We need the W3C again.
