As an update to my previous post about the W3C HTML Working Group, I myself have joined. I’m coming at this from the perspective of an end user in what the working group will produce, the recommendation spec for HTML5. Not as someone who will implement the recommendations into the actual browsers, but as someone who lives day in and day out writing modern HTML markup. Since much of my work is centered around creating modern web applications and web applications is one of the main things to be addressed in HTML5, I’d be keen to add my 2 cents where appropriate.

I encourage anyone who feels that they may have something to contribute or has any strong opinions on where the language should or shouldn’t go, to sign up. It’s open to the public, so should something get decided you don’t agree with, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. At the very least you’ll get a front row seat to the creation HTML5.
