The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been slumbering the past several years: HTML was last updated in 1999, XHTML was last updated in 2002, and no one is taking seriously their largely incompatible work on 'next-generation' XHTML or 'modularized' XHTML. Both HTML and XHTML are in sorry need of removing deprecated items while being updated to reflect the current practices of web and browser developers and remaining compatible with legacy Recommendations. The much more open and transparent WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group), formed in 2004 to address this problem, and has been hard at work on developing a draft spec for HTML5 to update and replace legacy versions of both HTML and XHTML. The quality of this work has reached the point that Apple, Opera, and Mozilla have requested the adoption of HTML5 as the new 'W3C Recommendation' for Web development."

Requesting adoption of HTML5: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/p...2007Apr/0429.html

HTML Last updated in 1999: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/

XHTML Last updated in 2002: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/

Yeah. HTML and XHTML both need an update. They are feverishly feeble and are in great need for a refreshment. I think that HTML5, when it comes out, will turn people back on to HTML and it will bring a heavy punch to the Web Programming Development.

It's is always a way to make things easier and "update" it to modern times. Maybe tables and things like that can be fixed to be done in an easier way. Who knows. Now-of-days people find the littlest things and make them easier just to make it easier.
