As my grandma used to say, "we all gotta pick our battles". Like the last posters comments about why they may have picked this battle. At the end of the day, it won't accomplish much, where as focusing energy on across the board standards, like ya'll do, that makes good sense. Communication between humans is hard enough, we need systems and formats that make it easier to get on the same page! Great post. As my grandma used to say, “we all gotta pick our battles”.

Bilicki III Sun, 30 Jan 2011 20:34:30 +0000 http://www.webstandards.org/?p=2008#comment-77153 It's at a minimal a marketing stunt and none of the reasons the excessive number of large words add up mathematically speaking for removing the version number; it really seems to come down to from what I've read that the WHATWG had mild to harsh disagreements with the W3C and decided to take their own route. It's a symbolic move to say they work on "HTML" instead of HTML5 as in the idea that they have taken over all of the work on HTML as a whole (e.g. HTML 1~5) thus somehow superseding the W3C. I'm still calling HTML5 HTML5 because that's what it is. People will still use HTML 4.01 and 3.2 in example long in to the lifespan and beyond HTML5 and 6. Removing the number doesn't serve any useful technical functionality or benefit.
