Something missing from the title:
> The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has said
For why that's relevant, note who's in the copyright notices of the W3C's HTML5 spec: Copyright © 2012 W3C® (MIT, ERCIM, Keio)
Compared to WHATWG's HTML5 spec: © Copyright 2004-2011 Apple Computer, Inc., Mozilla Foundation, and Opera Software ASA.
- fidz 14y agoDo WhatWG and W3C work in different field? If so, what are them?
- Shish2k 14y agoAFAIK, browser companies and various other individuals who were unhappy with the W3C being slow and out of touch with real-world browser development and usage decided to split off and maintain their own version of the HTML5 standard - this WHATWG version is the one that the industry considers canonical (I'm not too sure on the actual differences between specs; it's been a while since I did any work where modern technology was an option, so my info mostly comes from tech news sites...)
