Just left the html working group mtg at the IETF where I just asked W3's
Dave Raggett (html Version 3 author) about this. Look at http://WWW.W3.ORG/
for the V3 spec and a mailto to join the html-wg mail list. Unfortunately,
the v3 spec is not on ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/ with the v1 spec.

Dan or Dave, could you post the html wg agenda as it summarizes the proposed
functionality quite succinctly. Otherwise, interested parties need to go to
http://www.w3.org/ to join the mail list.

V3 should be backward compatible with existing browsers but updates to
browsers will be needed to take advantage of the new functionality.
