I was just looking at WHATWG wiki and there is nice sentence: "In

I am sure the same can be said from the other viewpoint,
The W3C HTML working group will ensure that the normative content of the
specifications (the requirements on authors and implementors) remains
the same so long as the WHATWG group doesn't demonstrate any serious lapses
in judgement.
Which is why the 2 specs have diverged on author conformance
requirements and advice as each group considers the other to have made
lapses in judgement.
Hi Steve,
True, no doubt about that, but that is matter of relevancy of opinion.
Mine and yours are irrelevant. W3C and WHATWG as organizations are
irrelevant - neither actually have any authority, both derives their
authority from browser vendors - "specification" not supported by
majority of browsers is irrelevant, developers can only work with what
is in the browser (plugins are becoming obsolete, as it would seems).
The only thing, that maters is what is in browsers.
