HMTL 5, CSS3 and JavaScript for Windows 8 – An unofficial collaboration of Web browser manufacturers and interested parties

WHATWG has become a large community where vendors and users have become key in the project. The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) is a community of people interested in evolving HTML and related technologies. The WHATWG was founded by individuals from Apple, the Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software in 2004.

Since then, the editor of the WHATWG specifications, Ian Hickson, has moved to Google. Chris Wilson of Microsoft was invited but did not join, citing the lack of a patent policy to ensure all specifications can be implemented on a royalty-free basis.

The DOCTYPE declaration for this new standard is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
