The future of HTML

9 Dec 2005

There's a nifty piece at IBM developerworks on the future of HTML and XHTML. Of interest is HTML 5.0, which is veering into web apps territory through the inclusion of new layout elements, including “a calendar control, an address card, a flexible datagrid, gauges and progress meters, drag and drop, and menus”.

Any news when the new HTML version is about to come out? I'm wondering how quick, if ever, this will become a new standard for web site development.

Can you post some more information about what W3 plans are in this matter?

It's at editor's draft status, so it's a while off from the public draft and being incorporated into any browsers. So at least a year to two years away, I reckon.
