I didn't say that WHATWG is planning it but that I heard I believe from a
talk on mozilla hacks by Chris Heilmann(but i could be wrong) about work on
something to do layouts inside a webpage instead of using tables for layout.
So it is probably some work by Mozilla.

You are right but I had no data to support this side of the argument.
