Stop standardizing HTML

It is well past time, though, for the W3C and the browser vendors to stop talking as if they constrain the markup developers can use and focus instead on the many things they can do to make the browsers supporting that markup processing more capable. HTML’s legacy vocabulary is a great foundation on which developers can build their own toolsets. The Web will benefit, however, from letting developers solve their information problems in their own ways, rather than trying to stuff too many things into a single vocabulary.
