W3C Declares HTML5 Standard Complete

“Today we think nothing of watching video and audio natively in the browser, and nothing of running a browser on a phone,” said Tim Berners-Lee, the W3C director, in a statement today. “We expect to be able to share photos, shop, read the news, and look up information anywhere on any device. Though they remain invisible to most users, HTML5 and the Open Web Platform are driving these growing user expectations.”

Any non-interoperable features the group discussed were moved to HTML 5.1 (including the controversial idea of adding support for some kinds of digital rights management right into the standard). HTML 5.1 may be released as early as next year, and the Working Group will continue to work on those features that were excluded from HTML5.

The standard is done, but in reality all of the major browsers have already been supporting these features. There were really only a few question marks.

What I'm waiting for is for CSS3 to become a standard. Tired of using browser pre-fixes and work arounds.

Good that it's finally accepted as standard. We need to move past this "app" nonsense.

I've had several conversations with ex google, Microsoft, and Apple that all agree. It's the browsers that will survive, many of these "apps" are just shortcuts wrapped with web view

@Brooklynzson and @cook are ahead of many
