HTML 4.5?

With the latest issue of A List Apart, there is sure to be a lot of talk in the blogosphere about HTML 5.

We’ve had HTML 4 for a decade now and while its not perfect, what is? One thing that has me a little annoyed is the estimate for HTML 5 to be released, 10-15 years! Thats ridiculous. Now, I fully
appreciate its an immense effort, but that would make it over 20 years for when HTML 4 is released to the next iteration. I thought this was a fast paced industry.

What is clear is HTML has been pretty much forgot about over the last couple of years with exciting technologies such as AJAX and frameworks like Ruby on Rails.

Maybe we need to be calling for stop gap release, similar to what Andy Budd wants with CSS?

Just a thought.
