Warum HTML5, wenn wir doch XHTML2 haben?
Andrea Gandino stellt sich genau diese Frage: Wozu in aller Welt brauchen wir eine Weiterenwicklung von HTML, wo wie doch XHTML haben?
But, to cut it very short, XHTML is the current standard, end of story. Under this perspective, the sense of starting to work again on HTML and, above all, doing it founding from scratch another working group, not only seems to me poor sighted, but also quite polemic.

Anne van Kesteren hat die Anwort schon vor beinahe 2 Jahren geliefert:
The WHATWG recognizes the fact that HTML and remaining backwards compatible are still important for the web. It focuses on making the implementation of text/html interoperable by defining error handling.

Abwärtskompatibilität. Fehlertoleranz. Semantik.
