I'm glad this is happening. The fact of the matter is that standards codify reality, and reality means what is actually shipping in actual browsers. The W3C may not want to admit it, but they have lost the confidence of the most important implementors of the DOM spec.https://twitter.com/RReverser/status/984496824357720064 …

Since the implementors of the spec have moved to another open standards organization, the reasonable thing for all of us to do is to move on with them.

It also doesn't hurt that the WHATWG is a community organization, with contributions open to anyone.

Bottom line: The W3C has lost the moral authority on this long ago, and it was only a matter of time until the WHATWG got its IP story enough in order for the web browsers to cut themselves loose from the bureaucracy and misplaced priorities of the W3C.

I say all of that with a great appreciation for the historical work done by the W3C, and the continued work the CSS working group does inside of the W3C.

CSSWG is the major thing justifying the W3C at this point, unfortunately. :/ No particular plans to change that, either; we're trucking along just fine.

Well, CSSWG, Service Worker WG, Web Audio WG, and the very active Community Groups (WICG, RICG, etc.). Lots going on.

Replying to @jfbastien @slightlylate and
I always cite WebAssembly as a good case where W3C processes are working very well.

All good examples, none are good reasons for the W3C to republish WHATWG specs.
