“ More accurately, protesters say that it doesn’t tell the truth, because the single ‘HTML5’ brand slaps a single, inaccurate name on top of a vast number of technologies and standards for no particular reason. It not only incorporates actual HTML5, the next generation of the language that underpins the web, but also including CSS3, JavaScript, SVG and a plethora of official APIs that can be used for web applications.”
GigaOm. Web developers are peeved that the brand is reductionist and overly simplistic. Similarly, I’m upset water is wet.
