The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group is an open consortium formed by industry experts, browser and tool developers and others in an attempt to create web standards that would actually be used and provide features, needed by the modern breed of web applications, that could actually be implemented by browser developers. Formed in response to the closed, slow-moving and commercial lobbying that is the common perception of the W3C's official standards process, WHATWG is seeking to define a new version of HTML (HTML 5) that will be an evolution of HTML 4 which is still the ligua franca of the most of the World Wide Web despite the existence of XHTML. Some progress has been made with modern browsers starting to actually implement features of HTML 5. HTML 5 is now being jointly developed by WHATWG and the W3C.
