Apple joins the HTML Working Group
The World Wide Web Consortium (aka W3C) is an organization which is devoted to creating and maintaining web standards. A very noble charter indeed.Some buzz has been building around the future of web standards (HTML, CSS, and what have you) and as you might imagine Apple has a pony in that race (i.e. Safari). Therefore it comes as no great shock that Apple has joined the HTML Working Group. It seems that Apple will also become more involved in other W3C activities, which can only be a good thing.
First we have WebKit in Apollo, lots of sessions about web stuff at WWDC, and now this... dare I say I am noticing a trend? What's next, WebObjects news?

Actually this is rather surprising considering how long safari and webkit have been around. It's not like this working group just sprung into existance. It's a good thing that apple is representing their stake in the online world now, I can only imagine that Safari will only become a better browser because of it (and maybe someday it will become usable).
