In Tim Berners-Lee's Blog entry, Reinventing HTML, It seems W3C failed to implement the new XHTML standard amongst the developers. Thanks to all easy-go browsers, which will not validate tags, attributes, etc...

456bereastreet.com suggests some of the changes required in the new HTML version, I'd say version 5.0. Some of the points mentioned are.

• New attributes that will make forms easier to validate: required for input, textarea, and select elements, maxlength for textarea elements.
• The reappearance of the start and value attributes for ol and li elements respectively.
• Stricter, XHTML-like syntax: make lowercase required for all element and attribute names, make quoted attribute values required, require all end tags that are currently optional.

Changes required for HTML v 5.0

• Browsers shouldn't render anything if there is any major error in Document, or atleast give a warning
• Direct Form validation support: no need of Javascript for trivial validations
• A "TABLE" like tag that works as well as "TABLE" for layout and positioning, Developers are sick of making CSS work for all browsers

Sometime back I'd made a blog entry OS-Browser, Internet… thats all!! on Wordpress.com's blog, about a browser would be all of the OS, rest all the applications would be on the Web!!

Even today some of the standard applications that we have on the desktop are available on the web...

Manchester United get a new website, http://www.manutd.com is now truly the XHTML compatible style..

Too bad, the site's homepage wasn't the same in Firefox !
