Hello Useless!

In an exercise of doing pointless things with our lives; it seems that the W3C are considering moving to HTML 5 again. Progress for the sake of progress is not a bad thing; but progress down a dead-end path is not a good thing. Never-mind that the good folks at the W3C already have a progress path for HTML that has a really cool x in front of it (XHTML). Never-mind that we already have a easy solution to making menu's and pop up windows. The sad state of affairs for anybody that has done serious weblication development is that 'current' browsers still don't conform to any of these standards. HTML 4.01 isn't even fully implemented by 'modern' browsers and it was introduced in 1999 ( that is pre-millennial folks).
