Although not in book format, Opera Software has released "The Web Standards

This may be of reference and help.



Google Doctype might also be a good source of up to date information.
Also not a book, though:

http://code.google.com/doctype/

I bought the 1998 (version 1) of Dynamic HTML
(http://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-HTML-Definitive-Reference-Html/dp/0596527403/
ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216006471&sr=1-1)  by Danny Goodman. I see
he is now up to version 3 (12/2007).

I especially liked this book because it was comprehensive. It told you which
tags/attributes work in which browser and it included a Javascript and CSS
overview in different sections.

I can't vouch for this version, but version 1 was a huge help to me back in
2000.
