XHTML 2^W^W

Mark Pilgrim, 2003:

I’ll be revisiting XHTML 2 in about five years, assuming it survives that long.

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), 2009:

XHTML 2 Working Group Expected to Stop Work End of 2009, W3C to Increase Resources on HTML 5; Today the Director announces that when the XHTML 2 Working Group charter expires as scheduled at the end of 2009, the charter will not be renewed. By doing so, and by increasing resources in the Working Group, W3C hopes to accelerate the progress of HTML 5 and clarify W3C’s position regarding the future of HTML.

On one hand, it survived for six years. On the other hand, it’s not like the people running it gave anyone a reason to revisit it.
