- andybak 14y agoThe W3C and the WHATWG have parted ways due to various political and procedural disagreements. The WHATWG represents the Browser Vendors more directly and is committed to an ongoing ever-evolving HTML standard rather than fixed release numbers. They also tend towards the more pragmatic side of things. They are probably the ones to watch. (This is based on my limited understanding. I'm happy to be corrected here)

- bhataktiatma 14y agoThis is such a silly comic. There might be one more standard but its a step in the right direction and multiple vendors adopt the 15th standard sooner or later.
- camus 14y agomultipe vendors have multiple interests , especially those who ship standards on proprietary plateforms.
- andybak 14y agoExactly. However the W3C have rather lost their claim to legitimacy after the XHTML2 debacle.
