ow HTML 5 has finally been standardized, Jeff Jaffe, the W3C's CEO, wants to get people talking about what to do next. His suggestion is to build an application foundation to underpin the Open Web Platform -- an operating system for the web. Going out on a limb here: HTML6? HTML10?

Wow! Really?! HTML 5 is finished? When?
Dear Jeff, please step out from your lab...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Smart. 
He's talking about the specification, not the implementation...

Not only that - he is talking about the MARKUP only. HTML 5 is much more than the markup...

Uh, no, HTML5 is only the markup.
What you're talking about, to venture a guess, is "Web 2.0" stuff.

For us mortals, but in the context Jeff talks about it, it is more the whole package, especially the JavaScript libraries...

Oh, Great and Powerful Oz! Read the article again and concentrate on the phrase 'Open Web Platform'...

 Yes, he's talking about the future. Not the present or the past. The "Open Web Platform" he's proposing is about the future, where he wants to take the web, not it's current state. You specifically called-out his statement that "HTLM5 is finished" as being somehow wrong, remember?
Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter wrote: Wow! Really?! HTML 5 is finished? When?
HTML5 *is* finished. It *is* only about markup.
You're confusing HTML5 with other things, like javascript (aka, ECMASCRIPT) and javascript libraries which are another thing altogether. Yes, HTML5 allows scripting, but it's not tied to javascript; it could be BooBashScript in some HooDooVooDoo browser for all you know.

I called out 'Wow' because the fact HTML5 (or even 6) is finished has nothing to do with what he talking about! He need CSS - and CSS3 is less then 20% completed, he needs JavaScript libraries - and less then 5% are completed.
So talking about finishing HTML5 as the gate we finally opened to the future is - disconnected? misleading? I'm not sure about the right word...It remembers me the companies putting HTML5 stickers on every product - even milk - to sell it better.
Pisses me of...

Well, I see what you're saying.
However, I don't think that he meant exactly that. Maybe means *he's* done with HTML5, he just wants to focus his efforts as he said...

It's a remarkable piece of engineering, but I think calling it a computer overeggs things a tad.
It was not programmable - purely designed as an astronomical calculator. An amazing feat, but not a computer by any stretch of the imagination.

The insert Date&Time, Date, Time pre-built Macros generate strange output. I will write the authors about this.

In the past, Microsoft tried to deliver a great experience on their operating systems by including everything that any user would need. However, since Microsoft held such a dominant position with personal computers, it was accused of being a monopoly and anti-competitive. I think I've seen this movie before
