W3C Says Don't Use HTML5 Yet

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stop-dragging-yer-feet dept.

GMGruman writes "InfoWorld's Paul Krill reports that the W3C, the standards body behind the Web standards, is urging Web developers not to use the draft HTML5 standards on their websites. This flies in the face of HTML5 support and encouragement, especially for mobile devices, by Apple, Google, Microsoft, and others. The W3C says developers should avoid the draft HTML5 spec (the final version is not due for several years) because of interoperability issues across browsers."

    Like anyone has ever listened to the w3c about standards and coding practices before.

    Finalized standards are the leading cause of cold chairs. W3C and IEEE are doing their part to combat this injustice.

    Even better, I'd like to see the story of a W3C draft done to the tune of "I'm Just a Bill" from Schoolhouse Rock. Just don't let the W3C do it or they will debate the lyrics for years and not release a draft version until 2020.
