Section 1 - Introduction
HTML5 was a great leap forward for web developers. It gave us all kinds of hip new tags like<header>, <nav> and <footer>.
It also gave us slick new JavaScript APIs like drag and drop,
localStorage, and geolocation. Still, however, there is a void that
HTML5 has yet to fill and that void is truly semantic markup.
Imagine being able to mark something up the way you want to mark it up. Imagine changing
<div id="wrapper"> to <wrapper> or a better example, making a calendar like:
<calendar>
<month name="January">
<day>1</day>
<day>2</day>
<day>3</day>
<!-- ...and so on -->
</month>
</calendar><img>, <embed>, <video>, <audio>, and so on? For example, wouldn't it be nice to just simply do: <html:media src="my-audio-file.aac" type="aac"> and let the browser deal with how to render it?
The web is moving towards a giant app store and we need to embrace it. The markup we use shouldn't work against us, it should work for us. This spec is to do just that. To finally break free of fatuous rules and standards and to give us, developers, total freedom to code as we please bringing the web a more semantic, clean, and human readable markup.
Now, without further adieu, let me introduce you to HTML6.
Section 2 - The Concept
HTML6 is conceptually HTML with XML like namespaces. If you don't know XML, or don't know what XML namespaces are they're basically a way to allow you to use the same tag without it conflicting with a different tag. You've probably actually seen one before in the XHTML DOCTYPE:xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
In HTML6 we take advantage of this ingenious concept by giving us freedom to use whatever tag we want by the W3C reserving namespaces and not tags. The W3C would basically reserve the right to all namespaces, and each namespace they reserve will trigger a different HTML API.
So, what does this look like? Below is an example of a full HTML6 document. We'll go over each tag and attributes in the API section.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Sample</html:title>

</html:body>
</html:html><html:x> tags
throughout this sample. Those are the namespaced elements that belong to
the W3C and HTML6 spec. These elements trigger browser events. For
example, the <html:media type="image"> element will make an image appear or, the <html:title> element makes the title bar of the browser change and so on.
All those other elements are just for you. None of those elements mean anything to the browser. They're simply hooks for CSS and JS and to make your code more semantic. The HTML elements you see in there like
<p> or the <h1> tags are just because I like using those as ways to markup paragraphs or the most important header, but I could have used <paragraph>, <text>, or <helloworldanythingiwant>.
It's whatever makes sense to you and your application.
Section 3 - The APIs
Section 3A - HTML API
All of the following tags in this API have the namespacehtml like: <html:title>
<html:html>
This begins a HTML document. Equivelent to the current <html> tag.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<!-- rest of HTML would go here -->
</html:html>
<html:head>
This begins an HTML's head. Equivelent to the current <html> tag. The tag contains data that isn't actually displayed (aside from the <html:title>
which is displayed in the browser's windows). Rather, it's purpose is
to get data and scripts that affect the display of the content in the <html:body>. These scripts and other sources include things like JavaScript, CSS, RSS feeds, etc.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<!-- Head content here, like the <html:title> tag -->
</html:head>
</html:html>
<html:title>
This is the title of the HTML document. Equivalent to the current <title> tag. Browsers will use this for the tab bar, favorites, etc. and search engines will use this as the title of their links
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
</html:html>
<html:meta>
This is a bit different then the current HTML version. Meta data in
HTML6 can be anything. Unlike HTML now, there are no required or
non-standard meta types. It's used to store content for you as a
developer, or for other sites as a way to grab information such as a
page description.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
<html:meta type="description" value="This is an example of HTML with namespaces">
</html:head>
</html:html>
<html:link>
This links external documents and scripts such as CSS, JavaScript,
RSS, favicons, etc. to the current document. Equivalent to the current <link> tag. This tag takes the following attributes:
charset: The character encoding such as "UTF-8".href: The link to the source file.media: The type of device the item should run on, for example, "mobile" or "tablet".type: The MIME type of the document, for example,text/javascript.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
<html:link src="js/main.js" title="Main Script" type="text/javascript">
</html:head>
</html:html>
<html:body>
This is the body of the HTML document. Equivalent to the current <body> tag. This is where you'd place most of the stuff that would be visible to the users like text, media, and so on.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<!-- Your web page's content would go here -->
</html:body>
</html:html>
<html:a>
This tag represents either an anchor on the page, or a link to another web page. Equivalent to the current <a> tag. The <html:a> tag takes one required attribute which is the href which directs the anchor or link where to go. For an anchor you'd use the syntax #id-of-element-to-link-to and for a link to another web page you'd simply insert the link like http://google.com.
Attributes available to the
<a> tag are:
hrefnametarget(can beblank,parent,toporself)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<html:a href="http://google.com">Go to google.com!</html:a>
</html:body>
</html:html>
<html:button>
Similar to <button> or <input type="button"> in HTML<=5, the <html:button> tag allows you to create a button for user interaction on a page.
Attributes available to the
<html:button> tag are:
disabled
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<html:button>Push me!</html:button>
</html:body>
</html:html>
<html:media>
This tag encapsulates what we now have for media which are tags like <img>, <video>, <audio>, <embed>, and so on. Instead of a tag for each file type, the browser will just know how to run it by the type attribute, or will make a guess based on the file extension, or lastly, by the MIME type.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<!-- Image -->
<html:media src="images/logo.jpg" type="image">
<!-- Video, shows you don't "need" a type -->
<html:media src="videos/cute-cat.mov">
<!-- Some made up format, browser will ignore if it doesn't know it -->
<html:media src="misc/example.abc" type="abc">
</html:body>
</html:html>Section 3B - HTML Forms API
HTML Forms are separate from the HTML API to allow development on forms to not have to slow down for the entire HTML spec. Forms are constantly evolving with Sliders, color pickers, date and time pickers, progress bars and more. Forms really are sort of their own "thing" in HTML, so in HTML6 we've broken them into their own API.
<form:form>
This tag creates a new form. Has two attributes, method and action. As with current HTML forms, method can be POST or GET
(they can be lowercase too) and will send the form with that as the
HTTP header. More details on GET and POST can be found at W3.org. The action attribute tells the form where to send the data. By default the "method" is set to GET and the "action" is the current page.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<form:form method="post" action="/sendmail">
<!-- Form inputs and stuff go here -->
</form:form>
</html:body>
</html:html>
<form:input>
This tag creates a new form input. Any type of form input that you
can enter text into would be an input. In HTML currently this includes
everything from a plain old text input to a <textarea> and would also include HTML5 style for inputs like email and url. The full list of possible input types are:
textemailurltelsearchnumberdatetimedatemonthweektimedatetime-localtextareapasswordfile- (multiple)
namedisabledreadonlyplaceholderautofocusrequirednovalidate
maxlengthautocompletepatternspellcheckmatch- This is new to HTML6, give it a name of a field you want it to require a match on.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<form:form method="post" action="/sendmail">
<!-- Simple input (defaults to text) -->
<form:input>
<!-- A new HTML6 match example -->
<form:input type="password" name="user_password">
<form:input type="password" match="user_password">
<!-- Advanced example -->
<form:input type="email" placeholder="user@site.com" autofocus required>
</form:form>
</html:body>
</html:html>
<form:select>
The <form:select> tag lets a user select from options rather than input anything. For example an HTML<=5 <select>
would be close to the same. Some others would be a calendar, color
picker, and range because these are predefined values in which you
choose from.
The possible input types follow along with attributes that are specific to it:
select- (multiple)colorcalendar- (range)meter- (range,step)
namereadonlydisabledrequiredautofocus
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<form:form method="post" action="/scheduler">
<!-- Normal select -->
<html:select type="select" name="favorite_color">
<!-- Calendar example -->
<html:select type="calendar" name="the_calendar" range="10/10/10-10/10/11">
</form:form>
</html:body>
</html:html>
<form:status>
The <form:status> tag allows you to give feedback,
or a "status" update to your users. Useful for an upload progress bar
or steps in a multi-page form, for example. These are similar to the <progress> and <meter> elements in HTML5.
progressmeter
minmaxvalue
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<form:form method="post" action="/upload">
<!-- Example showing "steps" in a form -->
<form:status type="meter" min="1" max="3" value="2">
<message>You're currently on step 2 of 3</message>
<!-- Example showing an upload progress bar -->
<form:status type="progress" max="100" value="25">
</form:form>
</html:body>
</html:html>
<form:label>
The <form:label> tag allows you to label inputs
for the user. It links text to an input and when click will focus on the
connected input. It matches the label's for attribute to the id of any form element.
Attributes that work for the
<form:label> tag are:
for
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<form:form method="post" action="/login">
<form:label for="username">Username</form:label>
<form:input id="username" name="username">
<form:label for="password">Password</form:label>
<form:input id="password" name="password" type="password">
</form:form>
</html:body>
</html:html>
<form:submit>
Just like <input type="submit"> in HTML<=5, <form:submit>
will create a button which submits your form. If a submit button is
present in a form, pressing enter while focused inside of a form will
submit it.
Attributes that work for the
<form:submit> tag are:
namevalue
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html:html>
<html:head>
<html:title>HTML6 Spec Version 0.1</html:title>
</html:head>
<html:body>
<form:form method="post" action="/login">
<form:label>Login</form:label>
<form:input name="username">
<form:input name="password" type="password">
<form:submit name="submit" value="submit">
</form:form>
</html:body>
</html:html>Section 4 - Using HTML6 Now
Unfortunately you can't but I'm hard at work on a polyfill that will transform your HTML6 document into a normal HTML document with JS. There will be a front-end one (which I wouldn't use in production due to the processing time and because search engines won't understand what the document is) and a Node.js one which will transform it and give it to the browser as if it were HTML.If you'd like it in another language submit it to the issue tracker or send a pull request.
Section 5 - Conclusion
This is simply an idea. It's an idea I've personally had for years, but it's in no way finished. There's still a lot missing and a lot I haven't yet thought about, but it's a start. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the issue tracker or better yet, send a pull request of what you think should be changed or added.Copyright on all documents and code:

HTML5 is a markup language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web and a core technology of the Internet. It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard (created in 1990 and standardized as HTML4 as of 1997)[2] and, as of December 2012, is a W3C Candidate Recommendation.[3] Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML 4, but XHTML 1 and DOM Level 2 HTML as well.[2]
Following its immediate predecessors HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1, HTML5 is a response to the observation that the HTML and XHTML in common use on the World Wide Web are a mixture of features introduced by various specifications, along with those introduced by software products such as web browsers, those established by common practice, and the many syntax errors in existing web documents.[4] It is also an attempt to define a single markup language that can be written in either HTML or XHTML syntax. It includes detailed processing models to encourage more interoperable implementations; it extends, improves and rationalises the markup available for documents, and introduces markup and application programming interfaces (APIs) for complex web applications.[5] For the same reasons, HTML5 is also a potential candidate for cross-platform mobile applications. Many features of HTML5 have been built with the consideration of being able to run on low-powered devices such as smartphones and tablets. In December 2011, research firm Strategy Analytics forecast sales of HTML5 compatible phones will top 1 billion in 2013.[6]
In particular, HTML5 adds many new syntactic features. These include the new
<video>, <audio> and <canvas> elements, as well as the integration of scalable vector graphics (SVG) content (that replaces the uses of generic <object> tags) and MathML for mathematical formulas. These features are designed to make it easy to include and handle multimedia and graphical content on the web without having to resort to proprietary plugins and APIs. Other new elements, such as <section>, <article>, <header> and <nav>, are designed to enrich the semantic content of documents. New attributes have been introduced for the same purpose, while some elements and attributes have been removed. Some elements, such as <a>, <cite> and <menu> have been changed, redefined or standardized. The APIs and document object model (DOM) are no longer afterthoughts, but are fundamental parts of the HTML5 specification.[5]
HTML5 also defines in some detail the required processing for invalid
documents so that syntax errors will be treated uniformly by all
conforming browsers and other user agents.[7] Contents |
History
The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) began work on the new standard in 2004. At that time, HTML 4.01 had not been updated since 2000,[8] and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was focusing future developments on XHTML 2.0. In 2009, the W3C allowed the XHTML 2.0 Working Group's charter to expire and decided not to renew it. W3C and WHATWG are currently working together on the development of HTML5.[9]While HTML5 is often compared to Flash, the two technologies are very different. Both include features for playing audio and video within web pages, and for using Scalable Vector Graphics. HTML5 on its own cannot be used for animation and interactivity — it must be supplemented with CSS3 or Javascript. There are many Flash capabilities that have no direct counterpart in HTML5. See Comparison of HTML5 and Flash.
Although HTML5 has been well known among web developers for years, it became the topic of mainstream media around April 2010[10][11][12][13] after Apple Inc's then-CEO Steve Jobs issued a public letter titled "Thoughts on Flash" where he concludes that "[Adobe] Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content" and that "new open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win".[14] This sparked a debate in web development circles where some suggested that while HTML5 provides enhanced functionality, developers must consider the varying browser support of the different parts of the standard as well as other functionality differences between HTML5 and Flash.[15] In early November 2011, Adobe announced that it will discontinue development of Flash for mobile devices and reorient its efforts in developing tools utilizing HTML 5.[16]
Standardization process
The Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software presented a position paper at a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) workshop in June 2004,[17] focusing on developing technologies that are backwards compatible with existing browsers,[18] including an initial draft specification of Web Forms 2.0. The workshop concluded with a vote, 8 for, 14 against, for continuing work on HTML.[19] Later that month, work based upon that position paper moved to the newly formed Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), and a second draft, Web Applications 1.0, was also announced.[20] The two specifications were later merged to form HTML5.[21] The HTML5 specification was adopted as the starting point of the work of the new HTML working group of the W3C in 2007.- 2008 – First Public Working Draft
- 2011 – Last Call
- 2012 – Working Draft
In July 2012, WHATWG and W3C have decided on a degree of separation. W3C will continue the HTML5 specification work, focusing on a single definitive standard, which is considered as a "snapshot" by WHATWG. The WHATWG organization will continue its work with HTML5 as a "Living Standard". The concept of a living standard is that it is never complete and is always being updated and improved.[27]
Plan 2014
In September 2012, the W3C proposed a plan[28] to release a stable HTML5 Recommendation by the end of 2014 and an HTML 5.1 specification Recommendation by the end of 2016.- Core HTML specification

Features
Markup
HTML5 introduces elements and attributes that reflect typical usage on modern websites. Some of them are semantic replacements for common uses of generic block (<div>) and inline (<span>) elements, for example <nav> (website navigation block), <footer> (usually referring to bottom of web page or to last lines of HTML code), or <audio> and <video> instead of <object>.[29][30][31] Some deprecated elements from HTML 4.01 have been dropped, including purely presentational elements such as <font> and <center>, whose effects have long been superseded by the much more powerful Cascading Style Sheets. There is also a renewed emphasis on the importance of DOM scripting (e.g., JavaScript) in Web behavior.The HTML5 syntax is no longer based on SGML[32][33] despite the similarity of its markup. It has, however, been designed to be backward compatible with common parsing of older versions of HTML. It comes with a new introductory line that looks like an SGML document type declaration,
<!DOCTYPE html>, which triggers the standards-compliant rendering mode.[34] As of 5 January 2009, HTML5 also includes Web Forms 2.0, a previously separate WHATWG specification.New APIs
In addition to specifying markup, HTML5 specifies scripting application programming interfaces (APIs) that can be used with JavaScript.[35] Existing document object model (DOM) interfaces are extended and de facto features documented. There are also new APIs, such as:
- The canvas element for immediate mode 2D drawing. See Canvas 2D API Specification 1.0 specification[37]
- Timed media playback
- Offline Web Applications[38]
- Document editing
- Drag-and-drop
- Cross-document messaging[39]
- Browser history management
- MIME type and protocol handler registration
- Microdata
- Web Storage, a key-value pair storage framework that provides behaviour similar to cookies but with larger storage capacity and improved API.[40]
- Geolocation
- Web SQL Database, a local SQL Database (no longer maintained).[42]
- The Indexed Database API, an indexed hierarchical key-value store (formerly WebSimpleDB).[43]
- HTML5 File API [1], handles file uploads and file manipulation.[44]
- Directories and System. This API is intended to satisfy client-side-storage use cases not well served by databases.[45]
- File Writer. An API for writing to files from web applications.[46]
- Web Audio API, a high-level JavaScript API for processing and synthesizing audio in web applications.
XHTML5
XHTML5 is the XML serialization of HTML5. XML documents must be served with an XML Internet media type such asapplication/xhtml+xml or application/xml.[48]
XHTML5 requires XML's strict, well-formed syntax. The choice between
HTML5 and XHTML5 boils down to the choice of a MIME/content type: the
media type one chooses determines what type of document should be used.[49] In XHTML5, the HTML5 doctype html is optional and may simply be omitted.[50]
HTML that has been written to conform to both the HTML and XHTML
specifications—and which will therefore produce the same DOM tree
whether parsed as HTML or XML—is termed "polyglot markup".[51]Error handling
An HTML5 (text/html) browser will be flexible in handling incorrect syntax. HTML5 is designed so that old browsers can safely ignore new HTML5 constructs.[citation needed] In contrast to HTML 4.01, the HTML5 specification gives detailed rules for lexing and parsing, with the intent that different compliant browsers will produce the same result in the case of incorrect syntax.[52] Although HTML5 now defines a consistent behavior for "tag soup" documents, those documents are not regarded as conforming to the HTML5 standard.[52]Popularity
According to a report released on 30 September 2011, 34 of the world's top 100 Web sites were using HTML5 – the adoption led by search engines and social networks.[53]Differences from HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.x
The following is a cursory list of differences and some specific examples.- New parsing rules: oriented towards flexible parsing and compatibility; not based on SGML
- Ability to use inline SVG and MathML in
text/html - New elements:
article,aside,audio,bdi,canvas,command,data,datalist,details,embed,figcaption,figure,footer,header,hgroup,keygen,mark,meter,nav,output,progress,rp,rt,ruby,section,source,summary,time,track,video,wbr - New types of form controls:
dates and times,email,url,search,number,range,tel,color[54] - New attributes:
charset(onmeta),async(onscript) - Global attributes (that can be applied for every element):
id,tabindex,hidden,data-*(custom data attributes) - Deprecated elements will be dropped altogether:
acronym,applet,basefont,big,center,dir,font,frame,frameset,isindex,noframes,strike,tt
The HTML5 logo
When initially presenting it to the public, the W3C announced the HTML5 logo as a "general-purpose visual identity for a broad set of open web technologies, including HTML5, CSS, SVG, WOFF, and others".[57] Some web standard advocates, including The Web Standards Project, criticised that definition of "HTML5" as an umbrella term, pointing out the blurring of terminology and the potential for miscommunication.[57] Three days later, the W3C responded to community feedback and changed the logo's definition, dropping the enumeration of related technologies.[58] The W3C then said the logo "represents HTML5, the cornerstone for modern Web applications".[56]
