You'll notice of course, that having read Patrick's link, the suggested chair of the WHAT-WG is Chris Wilson, who is effectively the manager of IE7. So that puts Opera, Mozilla and probably Microsoft for HTML5; to me XHTML 2 is just so much pipe-dream. Or maybe it will be used, but not by browsers, or without some conversion to real HTML on the way? It's an interesting future, anyway.
