I think the logo is a good idea. To me its marketing 101 and even an open technology needs marketing to quicken the adaptation.

Glad to see that all our protests have not gone unheard and that w3c is making amends already.

It is one thing to make an HTML logo to act as a general symbol, akin to the RSS symbol. It is another to try to establish supremacy in terms of who owns what technology. That is what is happening here, I think.

You know something, if we need a name for name sake – instead of HTML5 like W3C has come out with, why not “WAKA”/”Web AKA” or “Web Also Known As”

Its the web that uses various technologies… Just a thought…

We [developers] never needed a term to refer to “XHTML 1.0 plus CSS2.1” or “HTML4.01 plus JavaScript” or “any combination of front-end technologies.” Why this sudden all-conquering need for a term that covers so many different technologies as to be completely meaningless?

Does “three-legged stool” ring any bells?
