Westciv's John Allsopp sees a potentially bleak future for the dream that was web standards. Microsoft have overwhelming dominence of the browser playing field, despite brave efforts by Opera and Mozilla. They also have no intention to upgrade IE 6 until the release of Longhorn in 2006. So what is the point in innovating with new and exciting features in CSS and xhtml when no browser will support them? The only source of hope is that the gap left by Microsoft's development road map leaves room for a brave or foolish player to step in.

HTML 5, the W3C’s recently redoubled effort to shape the next generation of HTML, has, over the last year or so, taken on considerable momentum. It is an enormous project, covering not simply the structure of HTML, but also parsing models, error-handling models, the DOM, algorithms for resource fetching, media content, 2D drawing, data templating, security models, page loading models, client-side data storage, and more. There are also revisions to the structure, syntax, and semantics of HTML.
