HTML5 drops the ‘5’
HTML5, the name that served to assist Web standards advocacy, has been scrapped only two days after the logo was published. WHATWG decided to implement the name change because of the arising confusion after the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) released their logo.
W3C, the standards body that oversees the HTML specification, introduced the new HTML 5 logo to promote next-generation web design, only for the WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Working Group) – a related standards group – to assert that HTML5 should just be known as HTML.
Ian Hickson, editor of the HTML5 draft, said the removal of the version number reflects the choice to move to a model where the technology is version-less, or a ‘living document’ that defines the technology as it evolves. Hickson said the WHATWG had wanted to alter the name since December 2009, but refrained since the “HTML5″ label aided advocacy efforts: “At the start of this year, we came to the conclusion that we should rename the spec sometime in 2011, but were expecting it to still be several months before it would make sense.
“With the logo thing on Tuesday, though, the situation changed somewhat: With even the W3C saying that ‘HTML5′ means everything from CSS to font formats, advocates really were left without anything to specifically refer to HTML. So we asked around, and the objections to the rename were much reduced already, even compared to a week ago, so we went for it.”
