The WHATWG Blog: 2022

WHATWG offers a clarification about the 2022 “final” date for HTML 5:

> There has been a certain amount of controversy over the supposed date of 2022 for HTML 5 to be “finished”. It is somewhat important to realise the significance that should be attached to this date: None at all.

This, of course, begs the question, “then why mention it at all?” Who knows, but I’ve certainly been guilty of mentioning things I later wished I wouldn’t have, so I’ll give them a pass. Beyond that, this goes to show that it’s all exactly as I thought: HTML5 will indeed by “final” in 2022, but it’s really only browser support that matters to us web designers and developers. Bits and pieces of HTML5 are already showing up in browsers and more should be showing up over the next few years, so get out there and use them! Stop reading specs and fussing over dates and build some fucking web pages already.
