"The group aims to develop specifications based on HTML and related
technologies to ease the deployment of interoperable Web Applications,
with the intention of submitting the results to a standards organisation.
This submission would then form the basis of work on formally extending
HTML in the standards track."

"This working group aims to make [the] development [of Web Applications]
easier, and hopes to specify new technologies that make it possible to
make much prettier and more usable interfaces with less dependence on
complex scripts, less dependence on server-generated pages, and a more
seamless user experience."
