I was among that group having spent more time looking at XHTML 1.1 and 2.0 development. The crossover with XML is the cooler set of toys in my mind.

I found myself cheering while reading this article. Can you believe there’s going to be semantic support for abstract page elements? How awesome is that? It just makes sense, no?

And then I got to the end of the article where the timeline puts HTML5 for the public somewhere near 2017 at the earliest. And then I cried.

Why can’t we have nice things?
