On
January 22nd, 2008, W3C published the latest working draft for HTML 5.
The HTML 5
working group includes AOL, Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, Opera,
and many hundred other vendors.
HTML 5 improves interoperability and reduces development costs by making
precise rules on how to handle all HTML elements, and how to recover from
errors.
