Who Controls HTML Tag Definitions?
The World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C, is an international community with participating member organizations who work opening to develop and implement Web standards. A common problem early in the use of the Internet, was a lack of consistent standards for how to interpret and display web pages. This resulted in inconsistent quality experienced by the end user and increased expenditures by industry to program pages for multiple web browsers. The W3C HTML working group works with industry and academia in order to provide recommendations on the next versions for HTML (or XHTML) to be adopted as international standards and implemented by web browser companies.
