Yesterday afternoon the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) released the first public working draft of the HTML 5.0 specification. The official press release can be found here. Its taken 11 months since work began on HTML 5.0 for this first public working draft to get released. A pretty impressive effort in my opinion, having first hand experience at just how slow some W3C groups are run.

The main goal of HTML 5.0 is to make it easier for developers to create dynamic content and it introduces a load of new elements to enable this.

A final release of HTML 5.0 is still a long way off but this working draft provides an insight into where HTML is heading and the future is looking bright.
