What makes this really funny for me is that WHATWG fully appropriated the spec that W3C wrote for HTML and the DOM, as well as the names HTML and DOM.

The specs were written from scratch, because the W3C holds the copyright on them (the old specs are also of relatively little use). The spec now called HTML5 was officially called Web Applications 1.0 till after the W3C HTML WG was (re-)chartered.
