HTML 5

This article from IBM got me thinking.

So Apple, Opera, and Mozilla seem to think that allowing bad coding practices to continue on the web is in everyone’s best interest. I see the value of having more semantic elements, but I don’t know why they are so concerned with allowing people to continue to have unclosed elements. This will just make it easier for WYSIWG editors to continue to spit out ugly non-semantic code.

Maybe I’m just being negative, but this really doesn’t seem like progress to me.
