Seriously, what has the pre-WhatWG W3C done for us that wasn't in "HTML 3.2"? I can't think of anything better in html4 than before, and plenty of things that're worse. As for CSS, it's evolved so slowly and refused to implement such basic features that people now use preprocessors to generate it, defeating the point entirely. (Not to mention that the most W3C-ey version was 2.1, which has still never been implemented).

So what has the W3C actually done for us? XHTML?
