Douglas Crockford's Proposal for HTML5

I was reading through a blog post and found a link to Douglas Crockford's Proposal for HTML 5. It's a quick read and very high level but interesting nonetheless. Overall, the theme is small tweaks to HTML that will have a big impact on making web application easier to develop and safer to use.

If you have a passing interest in understanding how this portion of the web might evolve, I'd recommend the read.

Update: Minutes after publishing this post, the W3C made the HTML5 proposal an official recommendation. Check out the differences between HTML4 and HTML5 for an even better indication of how the web might evolve.
