WHATWG has decided that removing the version number from HTML5 [blog.whatwg.org] and simply calling it "HTML" has benefits.

*double face palm*

The HTML specification will henceforth just be known as "HTML", with the URL [whatwg.org...] (We will also continue to maintain the Web Applications 1.0 specification that contains HTML and a number of related APIs like Web Storage, Web Workers, and Server-Sent Events.) The WHATWG HTML spec can now be considered a "living standard". It's more mature than any version of the HTML specification to date, so it made no sense for us to keep referring to it as merely a draft. We will no longer be following the "snapshot" model of spec development, with the occasional "call for comments", "call for implementations", and so forth.
