====== Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) ======

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 [[www|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.
