We’ve got new tags to play with in the latest incarnation of HTML. Version 5 brings us a whole host of new elements to use.

It’s a long document but it’s worth a read.

Three major browser vendors—Apple, Opera, and the Mozilla Foundation—came together as the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WhatWG) to develop an updated and upgraded version of classic HTML.

I’m assuming that means that Microsoft didn’t have a part in this, is that surprising considering how badly their browsers support HTML.

The new Embedded Media and Interactivity sections excite me. The ability to use one html tag to embed a variety of different movie formats is brilliant.
