have jumped up and down and said "*We're* the ones defining HTML!!!
Listen to *us*!!!".
Yes, and *all* have them have done a poor job, except for the WHAT-WG.
I am not a frequent participant there, but I have noticed a large leap

I am supposed to be implementing getElementsByClassName today...
instead I am posting to this list. *sigh
It's foolish to draw conclusions about any HTML-
