Is there a document somewhere that summaries the proposed changes from HTML 5 to 5.1?


I found this table [1] that lists features specific to HTML 5.1 and their status in current versions of browsers.

[1] https://w3c.github.io/test-results/html51/implementation-rep...


I assume this document [1] may cover some changes.

Interesting that "Having title, or writing email to a friend does not make an img missing alt conformant." What if you write an email to an enemy? https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/REC-html51-20161101/changes.html#...


>What if you write an email to an enemy?

Then I would probably prefer to use <blink> and <marquee>.


What does that even mean?


There is also a diffed single page HTMLs at github [0], (11 MiB download; quite surprised my Firefox managed to render it).

What I've found interesting is that markup for insertions and deletions in this file is ("non-semantic") `<span class="delete">..</span><span class="insert">..</span>`, instead of presumably more semantically appropriate `<del>..</del><ins>..</ins>` [1].

Replying like this to a reasonable question is not the kind of civil discussion we ask for on HN.


This is valid answer. This spec published by W3 have no practical value and only reflect some people political aspirations that were crushed when HTML5 won over XHTML2. In fact whole this W3 vs whatwg is harmful for the web.

If W3 want to be useful they should either design new standard or contribute back to HTML5. Currently they hijack other people work and claim for their own.

Expression I used "ass pain" is very clumsy translation of "ból dupy" and maybe better It would be to say butthurt.
