HTML5 is the next major version of HTML and is widely considered future of the Web. In particular, HTML5 adds many new syntax features. These include , and elements as well as integration of SVG content, which are designed to improve the inclusion and handling of multimedia and graphic content on the web without recourse to proprietary plugins and their APIs [Source : Wikipedia].The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) is a community founded by individuals of Apple, the Mozilla Foundation, and Opera Software in 2004. It's main focus is the development of HTML standard and APIs needed for Web applications. In a blog post, WHATWG has announced that HTML5 is going to lose its version number. HTML5 can now be considered as a "living standard", and will henceforth be known as HTML, with the URL http://whatwg.org/html.On an unrelated note, W3C unveiled a new HTML5 logo to help the developers and website builders promote the HTML5 standard by letting the world know that they are using HTML5. If you are wondering, the HTML5 logo (shown above) signifies "a coat of arms and badge of honor". They are also selling T-shirts,and mugs and a part of the proceeds will support the HTML5 test suite effort.Here is what the W3C blog had to say about the purpose of this logo (and I quote). We intend for it to be an all-purpose banner for HTML5, CSS, SVG, WOFF, and other technologies that constitute an open web platform. The logo does not have a specific meaning; it is not meant to imply conformance or validity, for example. The logo represents "the Web platform" in a very general sense. The logo is available under a permissive license (Creative Commons 3.0 By) so that you can make it fit into your own designs.So considering both sides of the coin, would you prefer to call "HTML5" as just that, or would you rather call it plain "HTML" ?
