W3C's reputation went out the window in the minds of all serious software developers with the concept of HTML5's "living standard" aka, no standard. This is the kind of standards we can expect from a standards body in the industry. The only solution is to start again from scratch, maybe on top of TCP/IP only.

W3C have never been an official standards body; the most they’ve ever made is a ‘Recommendation’. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Standards matter only as much as the implementations adhere to them. Making HTML living standard thas the right thing to do, because only this really reflects the reality: browser vendors implementing differnt bits of the functionality described. Feel free to start from the scrach.

and now they are changing HTML5 to "HTML," the purpose is clear, to sew more confusion into the so called standard and hide the debacle that is w3c.

"this reality reflect the reality"

please... why have a standard at all then. What a joke and perversion of terms. Orwell would be proud.
