As an owner of a web development company I think this issue is very important. As I only provide compliant websites to my client's and have been hoping to do this exclusively via the SS framework / cms system, the future direction of whether SS goes HTML5 or XHTML2.0 is an important one for me.
I accept that the time to make a final decision is probably some time away, however I for one would like to be kept informed of the intentions of SS (the company).
Could we have some arguments 'for & against' both standards please?
I have learned from ex colleagues within MS & Adobe, that there is significant & major development of future WEB 2.0 technologies that are based around the pending XHTML 2.0 standard and that the majority will not be compliant for deployment within HTML 5.0.
I must admit that I have not looked at the HTML 5.0 implications, but if only for the reasons I give above I suggest more comment / argument on this subject.
Secondly: If SS (the company) is of a mind to move away from XHTML 1.0 Transitional towards HTML 4.01 Strict then could you please declare such A.S.A.P as future technologies relying on XML and other extensibility factors for data & other transfers are important in my own companies future and I would rather know now as opposed to spending the next 12-24 months of my time developing web applications around SS then having to throw them in the bin.
