"HTML5 (also sometimes referred to as Web Applications 1.0) is a technology developed by the WHATWG, an open community started by three of the four major browser vendors: Mozilla, Opera, and Apple. HTML5 is not so much a replacement for HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 as it is an upgrade or evolution. It aims for backwards compatibility, tries to remove undefined behavior in HTML 4.01 by defining it, and looks at the various browsers’ tag-soup parsing behavior to try to define the best solution that doesn’t break the web. At the same time, it adds sorely
The essence of an HTML document lies in the first two words: (H)yper(T)ext. In other words, it is the ability to link to other documents that makes HTML unique. How do HTML documents link to other documents? It does so via the <a> tag. The attributes for the <a> tag are href and name. Below we show an example for each:
Example 1: Link to an external document.
HTML:
<a href="sample.html">This link</a> takes you to

* The language is by design hardwired to describe hypertext:
o there is a fixed collection of tags with a fixed semantics
o but much information just is not hypertext!
* Syntax and semantics is mixed together:
o the structuring of data dictates its presentation in browsers
o stylesheets only provide a weak solution
o different views are not supported
* The standards have been undermined:
o most HTML documents are invalid
o the browsers define sloppy ad-hoc standards

Why bother with keeping your code up to date with what the W3C recommends? Don't! Please, put up bleeding-edge Web pages that take advantage of bugs in browsers. Contribute to the working anarchy we fondly call the Internet.
While I do not enjoy stylistic exploits that unknowingly (or even knowingly) create security holes, exploits that contribute to the art world -- even if they only last until everybody updates their browser to the next version -- are wonderful.
Pushing the boundaries of design is part of the Zen experience of the Web. However,
The evolution of HTML has essentially stopped. Instead, HTML is being replaced by a new language, called XHTML. XHTML is in many ways similar to HTML, but is designed to work with the new eXtensible Markup Language, or XML, that will soon serve as the core language for designing all sorts of new Web applications, in which XHTML will be only one of many "languages." But, XHTML is designed to work with these other language, so that different documents, in different languages, can be easily mixed together.
For this to work, the rules for writing HTML
