The linked article doesn’t support your editorialised title. I think what you’re trying to say is that it’s not a standard. It’s still a useful term to describe a set of modern web standards and features.

This editorialized title (“HTML5 does not exist”) has very “ I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux” energy.

Apparently Google agrees. HTML5 doesn't exist. HTML5 never existed.

This. A few years ago our company made sure to always say html5 in every second sentence to clients.

Once I just embraced the fact that non-DOM original interfaces were dead, webkit was the lousy future, and everyone and their mother was asking for JS sites, I enjoyed a decade of boring work I'd rather not have done rewriting everything I'd ever written. But hey, it paid my mortgage.

HTML5 is dead. Long live HTML5.

Title seems a bit click-baitey
