"The web is constantly evolving. New and innovative websites are being created every day, pushing the boundaries of HTML in every direction. HTML 4 has been around for nearly a decade now, and publishers seeking new techniques to provide enhanced functionality are being held back by the constraints of the language and browsers. To give authors more flexibility and interoperability, and enable more interactive and exciting websites and applications, HTML 5 introduces and enhances a wide range of features including form controls, APIs, multimedia, structure, and semantics."

HTML 4 has had a long run but it's aging and many proprietary (and separate open) non-standard standards are taking over the web. HTML 5 seems to be trying to tame that with standard syntax and is adding some very useful layout tags which are a blessing to those who make sites with a plain text editor. Overall, great job and I'm expecting more progress over the next couple years.
