Yes, in an idealized world, "HTML5+CSS3+JS" would be a more accurate name, but I wouldn't care if it was called Jesus Christ if that's what made people actually want and adopt web standards. See your comment above about 'the way that they are' and 'the way that people perceive them to be,' and apply it to HTML5 itself rather than the WHATWG.
