HTML 5 Starts Looking Real
The World Wide Web Consortium's statement last month that it was retiring the XHTML 2 Web markup language in favor of HTML 5 sent ripples across Web development waters. The declaration solidified HTML 5 as the official future of Web development based on open standards. In the process, HTML 5, with its plethora of new features, was certified as the first legitimate challenger to the proprietary solutions of Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Sun JavaFX.
What, you don’t find a new version of a Web markup language that exciting? It’s true, some of the new elements and tags defined in the core HTML 5 working draft are probably in the boring-but-important category—such as new semantics in tags including nav, header, section, aside, and footer, among others.But there’s a lot to intrigue anyone doing or in charge of Web development.
