XHTML 2 Cancelled

Posted by timothy on from the that-html-5-he's-so-hot-right-now dept.

Jake Lazaroff writes "According to the W3 News Archive, the charter for the XHTML2 Working Group — set to expire on December 31st, 2009 — will not be renewed. What does this mean? XHTML2 will never be a W3C recommendation, so get on the HTML 5 bandwagon now. According to the XHTML FAQ, however, the W3C does 'plan for the XML serialization of HTML to remain compatible with XML.' Looks like with HTML 5, we'll get the best of both worlds."

    What a surprise,
    Who could foresee?
    I've come to feel about you what you felt about me
    Why only now when I see that you've drifted away
    What a surprise, what a cliché

    Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
    Losing my timing this late in my career
    And where are the clowns
    Quick send in the javascript clowns
    Don't bother they're here.
