Mr. Jacobs says HTML 5 will be able to do many things. He says it will have open rules or standards. And he says the goal is to create licensing agreements that will let people use those standards without cost.
Still, there is no guarantee this will happen. HTML 5 is being designed to use video without the need for extra software, like Flash. It will also make other applications easier to build in to Web pages. But, while versions of the new language are being used, standards have not been agreed upon. And it is unclear when the job will be done.
BOB DOUGHTY: Recently, Apple and Adobe’s dispute over Flash made news. Adobe placed advertisements criticizing Apple’s move against Flash. The ads appeared in major newspapers and on the Web. But the Web community continues to move toward standards for HTML 5. Adobe is already releasing products that can use this system. And both Apple and Adobe will have their say in the final result: both are members of W3C.

FAITH LAPIDUS: Conservation biologists today are discovering secrets about rare wild animals. The researchers study the genetic and physical qualities of the animals. They hope that new knowledge can show ways to help keep the creatures from disappearing.
Investigations of clouded leopards are a good example. Scientists studied clouded leopards on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, and in mainland Southeast Asia. They learned that the wild cats might be of two species instead of just one.
