What’s new in HTML6

I'm unsure if these are actual things planned for HTML6 or the author's wishlist for the next version of HTML…

  Seems to be a wishlist because there is no links to anything external and it's the first time I hear about "Express tags", searching shows nothing and the example they are using doesn't make any sense.

That's a website without even a fallback (or just a warning) if you deactivated javascript. "People now are waiting for another upgrade". Maybe, but if you could use it properly before asking for more, it'll be cool.

Nooooooooooooooo!

How about the ability to include HTML code that's in another file or link? I'm surprised that such a basic modularity mechanism still isn't in the HTML standard.

    Not the OP, but I guess they mean the ability to include portions of html (such as the header, the footer, and the likes) into other pages to improve code reuse.

  that would have been <iframe seamless>, but I don't think it was ever implemented and it was eventually dropped from the standard.

  There used to be "imports" for HTML5 but they deprecated it for some reason. https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/imports/ https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/import... https://caniuse.com/#feat=imports https://caniuse.com/#feat=imports

  Good news, it's already been proposed! <link rel="import" href="/myfile.html"> Some links: https://w3c.github.io/webcomponents/spec/imports/ https://w3c.github.io/webcomponents/spec/imports/ https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/imports/ https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webcomponents/import... Not sure about the current support in browsers, but the specification is currently a draft

>Express tags >As the name suggests, these tags are express. Tags such as the for the logo on your webpage can be put in use. Moreover, tags such as , , would be available. None of this first bit makes any sense.

The author is inventing HTML6 on their own. This is not something official. The "Express tags" example links to nowhere and first time ever I hear about it (I'm a web developer). Also, "dialog" element is clearly part of the HTML5 (5.2 exactly) spec and not HTML6. "Introducing cachable libraries in HTML6 will be a step towards improving the productivity of both web designers and users." WHAT?! No. Nothing here makes sense. Libraries you're using have been cached in the browser since... Before I started doing web development. So I'd say ignore this article. Seems to be some sort of viewgrab. Edit: Author is asking "HTML6 release date?" which shows that this author might not even be a web developer, as they show signs that they have no idea on how the process works or what the HTML specifications really are. Edit2: How does trash like this get updated in the first place? Any web developer would look at this article and recognize it as non-sense. Are people blindly upvoting titles without even opening the page and skimming the content?

  As far as I was aware, many browsers are scaling back caching due to fingerprinting concerns…
  - capableweb 7y ago
    Interesting, haven't heard this before. Got any links where this is being discussed?

      Safari has prevented caching across domains for a very long time: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110269 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110269. I know other browsers are working on similar things, but I'm less familiar with their efforts: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1536058 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1536058 https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5730772021411840 https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5730772021411840

This is some sort of click farming / per-post commission site associated with a shitcoin called GeekCash. Everyone who replied about html6 not being a real thing took the bait.
