HTML 5.2: Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements

Thanks to Tim Berners-Lee for inventing HTML, without which none of this would exist, Dan Connolly, the many who worked to standardise HTML over the last couple of decades or so, and the many more who worked on ideas subsequently incorporated into HTML.

For inestimable work, and the drive to keep HTML up to date, particular thanks are due to Ian Hickson, and the other editors of the WHATWG: Anne van Kesteren, Domenic Denicola, Philip Jägenstedt, Simon Pieters.

Thanks to Tab Atkins, who produced the bikeshed tool used to build this spec, and https://github.com for tools to manage its development.

With apologies to people who have undeservedly not been named, thanks to
