Hoy el internet está en sus mejores días con Web 2.0 y HTML 5 siendo las respuestas a los taboo de ayer hoy son las soluciones, pero con todo eso no ha sido ratificado el HTML 5 y ahora su próxima versión apunta a ser el próximo estándar favorecido.
El Consorcio World Wide Web (W3C) ha anunciado oficialmente que las especificaciones del HTML5 y Canvas2D se han completado y ahora son candidatos recomendados para oficialmente estandarizarlos. Esto no quiere decir que ahora son un estándar final, pero el W3C ha pasado a la fase en la que los miembros, las empresas y los desarrolladores pueden utilizar las especificaciones para la “implementación y planificación”.
First Draft of HTML 5.1 Offers Glimpse at Next Round of Standardization
17 December 2012 — The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) published today the complete definition of the HTML5 and Canvas 2D specifications. Though not yet W3C standards, these specifications are now feature complete, meaning businesses and developers have a stable target for implementation and planning. HTML5 is the cornerstone of the Open Web Platform, a full programming environment for cross-platform applications with access to device capabilities; video and animations; graphics; style, typography, and other tools for digital publishing; extensive network capabilities; and more.
“The broader the reach of Web technology, the more our stakeholders demand a stable standard,” said W3C CEO Jeff Jaffe. “As of today, businesses know what they can rely on for HTML5 in the coming years, and what their customers will demand. Likewise, developers will know what skills to cultivate to reach smart phones, cars, televisions, ebooks, digital signs, and devices not yet known.”
W3C also announced today the first draft of HTML 5.1 and Canvas 2D, Level 2, an early view of the next round of standardization. The W3C community continues to enhance existing HTML features and develop new ones, including extensions to complement built-in HTML5 accessibility, responsive images, and adaptive streaming.
From Leading-Edge Implementations to Broad HTML5 Interoperability in 2014
Recent advances in technology and a vibrant browser market have been the source of significant innovation, much of which is now part of HTML5 and related technologies. In a recent Kendo UI survey of more than 4000 developers, 63 percent indicate that they are “actively developing with HTML5.” However, the same survey shows that “browser fragmentation” remains an important developer concern, as it increases the cost and complexity of using a technology.
To reduce browser fragmentation and extend implementations to the full range of tools that consume and produce HTML, W3C now embarks on the stage of W3C standardization devoted to interoperability and testing (called “Candidate Recommendation”).
During this stage, the W3C HTML Working Group will conduct a variety of activities to ensure that the specifications may be implemented compatibly across browsers, authoring tools, email clients, servers, content management systems, and other Web tools. The group will analyze current HTML5 implementations, establish priorities for test development, and work with the community to develop those tests. The HTML Working Group has planned for this implementation phase to last into mid-2014, after which W3C expects to publish the final HTML5 Recommendation, available Royalty-Free to implementers under the W3C Patent Policy.
The HTML Working Group is not alone in its pursuit of success for HTML5 and the broader Open Web Platform. For example, the Web Performance Working Group —which today published two W3C Recommendations giving access to performance metrics— is developing techniques to measure and enhance Web application performance; they recently announced findings from a November Workshop. The Web and TV Interest Group and the Core Mobile Web Community Group have prioritized testing as a way to promote deployment to a growing set of devices.

Many people in the W3C Membership, staff, and the wider community of reviewers have contributed to the specifications published today.
W3C recognizes the work of Ian Hickson (Google), who has been the editor of the HTML5 specification for nearly all of its history.
W3C appreciates the ongoing leadership of the HTML Working Group co-Chairs Paul Cotton (Microsoft), Sam Ruby (IBM), and Maciej Stachowiak (Apple). W3C also thanks thecurrent editors who will help shepherd the specifications to W3C Recommendation.
W3C thanks all the organizations and individuals participating in the HTML Working Group for the significant time and energy they have invested, and for their ongoing commitment.
About the World Wide Web Consortium
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. W3C primarily pursues its mission through the creation of Web standards and guidelines designed to ensure long-term growth for the Web. The Open Web Platform is a current major focus. Over 375 organizations are Members of the Consortium. W3C is jointly run by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) in the USA, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) headquartered in France and Keio University in Japan, and has additional Offices worldwide.

Mientras tanto, el nuevo trabajo de HTML5 se llevará a cabo en el desarrollo de HTML5.1 y Canvas 2D Context Level 2 . El trabajo abarcará las ampliaciones de accesibilidad de HTML5, imágenes sensibles, y streaming adaptativos. Será en torno a 2016, de acuerdo a los horarios actuales, antes de HTML5.1 se convierte en una recomendación para próximo estándar, aunque se trata de un programa de desarrollo más rápido de lo que HTML5 originalmente que se comenzó a trabajar en eso en 2004.
Continuamos con la innovación.
