[whatwg] W3C's Rich Web Client Activity and Web Application W/G

[Brad Fults]

I would implore the W3C to officially denounce vapor terms such as
"DHTML", "Ajax", and "Web 2.0" inside its new WGs. It helps no one
when vaguely defined marketing buzzwords are used to describe very
specific technologies and methods, much less in a standards-producing
environment like the W3C.

Two short reads on this topic:

Thanks.
