IETF and available to the public. It introduced basic tags for creating
web pages, including text formatting, images and hyperlinks.

and with few additional features along with the existing features and
also included improvement in the initial draft and bugs were fixed.

reformulated as XML. It aimed to improve code quality and
consistency across different browsers.
