@Krijn; hmm, guess I was wrong on that...

@Arjan; since when is ‘href as attribute for everything’ part of HTML5? I think you meant XHTML2. Implementors don’t like both (enough).

I don't think we need to rush things up, Kilian... If HTML5 is nice, we don;t even need HTML6 or something. For me that's a reason to wait. My favorite HTML5 things for now are: menu, href as attribute for everything and section.

There will be an XHTML version of HTML5, XHTML5. Which is HTML described in XML, like XHTML1.0 currently is. XHTML5 offers various improvements, like inline SVG, but has some downsides as well: for one, it must be served as application/xml.

I have to copy doctypes from the different websites that I’ve created, and I feel stupid every time I do that.

HTML 5 looks rather cool, but I’m an XHTML person at heart. I can’t help it :P

It’s awesome that you get to go to these things; I have a BarCamp to attend on June 30th, but I won’t know anyone there, so I’m a bit worried about attending :(
