Which HTML and CSS standards reached W3C Recommendation status?

Could anyone please tell me which HTML/XHTML and CSS versions reached "Recommendation" (not "Candidate Recommendation") status?

I tried to find the documents at http://www.w3.org/TR/tr-status-stds and they appear to be: 1) "XHTML开发者_JAVA百科™ 1.0 The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (Second Edition)" 2) "Cascading Style Sheets (CSS1) Level 1 Specification"

Please correct me if I'm wrong. These are kinda neanderthal technologies...

XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 are Recommandation

HTML1, 2, 3 and 4 are Recommandation HTML 5 is a Working Draft

CSS level 1 and level 2 are Recommandation CSS level 2.1 (correction for the level2) is actually in a Last Call phase (since 2010-12-07), it was in a Proposed recommandation phase.

CSS level 3 is divided into modules, you can see an overview of each module and their maturity level on this page : http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/current-work

If you not sure about what maturity level means, you can consult this document from w3c : http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr#q73

Hope it helps.

That list looks complete...but I found it a little confusing. You could also try Wikipedia:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xhtml
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html

Just go to the W3C site and look: http://www.w3.org/standards/
Specificaly, you want this link: http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/htmlcss
Look on the right side for current status
XHTML is hardly "neanderthal".

More or less what Tim said.

The reason why there are no CSS 3 modules in Recommendation is that they usually build on CSS2.1. As 2.1 isn’t a recommendation, the CSS3 modules (selectors) that are considered ready can’t graduate to recommendation status until it does. CSS 2.1 is close to becoming a rec now. It just has a few issues left to solve, and needs some work on the test suite.

CSS2.1 along with the CSS3 modules that the W3C consider to be stable are defined in the CSS 2010 snapshot. All of these are considered safe to use and should become a recommendation soon.

HTML5 is quite new in the grand scheme of things, and will probably be a while before it becomes a Rec, although it shouldn’t be long before many of the browsers support all of the spec to some degree or other. A lot of HTML5 is already well supported in Opera, Chrome, Safari, Firefox and IE9.
