The W3C doesn't have a "final recommendation" status, "recommended" is the end of the line (see link in previous post).

Doesn't mean I'm right, but HTML 4.01 has standing revisions after 1997.
Things evolve, even languages like COBOL are still being revised. :-) HTML 4 was a standard. So was HTML 4.01, and XHTML 1.0 and so on.

HTML5 isn't, and won't be for a while yet. There's a lot of hype about it certainly, and I don't blame Intel/Samsung for jumping on the bandwagon (everybody else is), but it doesn't make for a stable or portable development platform.
