HTML5 is a rationalised forking from the xhtml days.
The reason being - the implentation of an updated standard along the chronology hinted at in 'idiots' timeline.
HTML5 is more like a return to days of old where feature-creep hindered the acceptance of a unified standard until *after* the event. HTMLs 3 and 4 were only really decided after people had been doing them for years anyway. This does not mean an end to development or a delay in uptake. It just means this will be turbulent and unsettled for a while.
HTML5 does not seek to rebuild the web in its semantically-correct image, like the XHTML debacle of the early millennium.
So, whilst the timeline in 'idiots' post is, in an academic and arcane sense, correct, to you me and everyone here, it amounts to little more than FUD.
