Comment:
HTML is the core language of the World Wide Web. The W3C publishes HTML5,
which is the fifth major revision of HTML. The WHATWG publishes HTML, which is
a rough superset of HTML5. "HTML5 differences from HTML4" describes the
differences of these documents from HTML4, and calls out cases where HTML is
different from HTML5. This document may not provide accurate information as
the specifications are still actively in development. When in doubt, always
check the specifications themselves.
