Funny, browser vendors seemed to do just fine implementing and contributing to HTML 5 while the W3C was busy XHTMLing there way to obsolescence. Exactly. Let's not forget that (in)activity (in broad sense) of W3C is one of the reasons we have WHATWG in the first place. And my gut feeling is that in any serious disagreement browser vendors will go with WHATWG, because that's where the action is.
