Learning HTML5: Getting started

The HTML5 working group doesn’t do PR. This became evident last year in the negative blog posts after Ian Hickson (lead editor) set 2022 as the target date for a final proposed recommendation. Unfortunately, this was misenterpreted as the date HTML5 would be ready for use, which isn’t true at all. Web specifications have a notoriously slow moving approval process, where drafts are proposed and discussed over many years. However, as CSS2.1 has shown, the technology can be used well before final approval is reached.
