+
+ <p>In short: Yes.</p>
+
+ <p>In more length: "HTML5" has at various times been used to refer
+ to a wide variety of technologies, some of which originated in this
+ document, and some of which have only ever been tangentially
+ related.</p>
+
+ <p>This specification actually now defines the next generation of
+ HTML after HTML5. HTML5 reached Last Call at the WHATWG in October
+ 2009, and shortly after we started working on some experimental new
+ features that are not as stable as the rest of the
+ specification. The stability of sections is annotated in the
+ margin.</p>
+
+ <p>The W3C has also been working on HTML in conjunction with the
+ WHATWG; at the W3C, this document has been split into several parts,
+ and the occasional informative paragraph or example has been removed
+ for technical reasons. For all intents and purposes, however, the
+ W3C HTML specifications and this specification are equivalent (and
+ they are in fact all generated from the same source document).</p>
+
+ <p>Features that are considered part of the next generation of HTML
+ beyond HTML5 currently consist of only:</p>
+
+ <ul class=brief><li>The <code><a href=#devices>device</a></code> element.</li>
+ </ul><p>Features that are part of HTML5 (and this specification) but that
+ are either currently, or have been in the past, published as
+ separate specifications:</p>
+
+ <ul class=brief><li><a href=#2dcontext>Canvas 2D Graphics Context</a>

+ <li><a href=#forms>Forms</a> (previously known as Web Forms 2)
+ </ul><p>Features that are not currently in this document that were in the
+ past considered part of HTML5, or that were never part of HTML5 but
+ have been referred to as part of HTML5 in the media, include:</p>

+
+<!--END complete-->
+
+ <p>In short: Yes.</p>
+
+ <p>In more length: "HTML5" has at various times been used to refer
+ to a wide variety of technologies, some of which originated in this
+ document, and some of which have only ever been tangentially
+ related.</p>
+
+ <p>This specification actually now defines the next generation of
+ HTML after HTML5. HTML5 reached Last Call at the WHATWG in October
+ 2009, and shortly after we started working on some experimental new
+ features that are not as stable as the rest of the
+ specification. The stability of sections is annotated in the
+ margin.</p>
+
+ <p>The W3C has also been working on HTML in conjunction with the
+ WHATWG; at the W3C, this document has been split into several parts,
+ and the occasional informative paragraph or example has been removed
+ for technical reasons. For all intents and purposes, however, the
+ W3C HTML specifications and this specification are equivalent (and
+ they are in fact all generated from the same source document).</p>
+
+ <p>Features that are considered part of the next generation of HTML
+ beyond HTML5 currently consist of only:</p>
+
+ <ul class="brief">
+ <li>The <code>device</code> element.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Features that are part of HTML5 (and this specification) but that
+ are either currently, or have been in the past, published as
+ separate specifications:</p>
+
+ <ul class="brief">
+ <li><a href="#2dcontext">Canvas 2D Graphics Context</a>
+ <li><a href="#microdata">Microdata</a>
+ <li><a href="#mdvocabs">Microdata vocabularies</a>
+ <li><a href="#crossDocumentMessages">Cross-document messaging</a> (also known as Communications)
+ <li><a href="#channel-messaging">Channel messaging</a> (also known as Communications)
+ <li><a href="#forms">Forms</a> (previously known as Web Forms 2)
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Features that are not currently in this document that were in the
+ past considered part of HTML5, or that were never part of HTML5 but
+ have been referred to as part of HTML5 in the media, include:</p>
+
+ <ul class="brief">
+ <li><a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-workers/current-work/">Web Workers</a>
