Here's hoping W3C has a better chance today, with people increasingly aware that the web's commercial interests are largely counter to the interests of a free and open society, and with WHATWG dominated by those very commercial interests. Maybe W3C bungled things with XHMTL 10 years ago, trying to pull the web toward TBL's original vision of something like a giant Wikipedia. But things are very different now, having spent the interim in service to browser vendors and their monetization of control over user data. The mission is arguably much clearer now.
