HTML 5 has been released, who knew?

[shaunak]

January 22nd W3C published the latest working draft for HTML 5. The HTML 5 working group includes AOL, Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, Opera and many hundred other vendors.

Some of the new features in HTML 5 are functions for embedding audio, video and graphics, client-side data storage, and interactive documents. Other features are new page elements like <header>, <section>, <footer>, and <figure>.

HTML 5 improves interoperability and reduce development costs by making precise rules on how to handle all HTML elements, and how to recover from errors.

Funny, its been quite a while, yet I didnt know, and imm sure many of you guys didnt too!

The current HTML isn't bad and i've gotten really used to it, im sure there will be more room for extra tags. ;]

It would be amazing if they had some new useful tags.

I had a look at some of the new tags, some of them look really interesting such as <video> and <time>.
Thanks for the link.
