FYI: HTML5

The w3c is discussing an HTML5 [1], which is not to be
confused with
XHTML2 [2]. I'm not sure how serious or advanced this, but
there's a
discussion on Slashdot [3] (stop rolling your eyes).

It's definitely more semantic in design, though I've only
lightly
skimmed the doc. Note rel-tag [4], rel-bookmark [5] &
the <article>
tag [6], and rel-nofollow [7]. It looks like (for example),
a lot of
hAtom could be re-implemented using basic HTML5 tags and
link-types.

Regards, etc.

One thing you may want to take note of is that the
"rev" attrbute, on
the <a> element and the <link> element are
gone.

"rel" is now being (ab)used to be more like an
"hrefclass" now... to
match common usage of it (outside of the Microformats group
of
course).


See ya

Sorry for the quite off-topic, just a clarification, before
the idea  
is going further.

*nothing* is gone. The document is an editor's draft.

Ian Hickson does a good job at going through all feedback
emails,  
issue trackers of browsers, etc. He's dealing right now with
emails  
from 2005/2006.

You might want to look at the differences
http://www.w3.o
rg/html/wg/html5/diff/

	"HTML 5 defines the fifth major revision
	of the core language of the World Wide Web,
	HTML. "HTML 5 differences from HTML 4"
	describes the differences between HTML 4 and
	HTML 5 and provides some of the rationale for
	the changes. This document may not provide
	accurate information as the HTML 5 specification
	is still in development. When in doubt, always
	check the HTML 5 specification itself. [HTML5]

The work being done for documenting the rationale behind
each  
features is given at
http://esw.w3.org/topic
/HTML/

If you want to participate, Ian Hickson gave guidance on how
to raise  
issues.

A feature which is not in HTML 5 editor's draft has not
necessary  
been dropped. It might just lack of research and
documentation to  
make an informed choice.
