Whats New in HTML6
Probably the biggest item to come out of the recent meetings is the new standard of sponsored tags. Even though the WHATWG was founded by individuals from Apple, the Mozilla Foundation, and Opera, theyre rapidly approaching a budget shortage. Primarily for this reason, sponsored tags are being introduced in to the next version of the HTML6 specification.
The tin tier is the most frugal option for brands wishing to get their information in to the HTML6 specification. The tin tier allows you to purchase an attribute on an existing tag. Tags that are not as popular will cost less than tags that are used more often. For example, GoDaddy could purchase the abbr tag and, by default, browsers would implement the color of GoDaddys choice as the default color of an abbreviation. Additionally, in the case of the abbreviation tag, a small (Sponsored by GoDaddy) block of text will be appended to any abbreviation. Web page authors can optionally add the amount of enthusiasm they have for the brand by specifying a number. The code would go from this:
<abbr title="Team Treehouse!">Treehouse!<abbr>
To this:
<abbr title="Team Treehouse!" godaddy="1">Treehouse!<abbr>
The implemented code would look something like this:
Treehouse!
The tin tier starts at $250,000 USD.
Tier 2: Aluminum
This gets you a full tag written in to the specification. Sponsors at this level are allowed to define the width, height, and overflow of the content.
The aluminum tag starts at $1,500,000 USD.
Tier 3: Diamond
The diamond tier displays a full, non-skippable splash screen before each page load. The default display time is 1 second but you may upgrade the display time and have it be extended in 1 second increments. Each second costs an additional $2,500,000 USD and 50,000 reddit karma points. None of the Reddit karma points may be from re-posts, posts in any of the default sub-reddits, or cat pictures.
Pricing of the Diamond tag starts at $20,000,000 USD and requires purchase from each browser vendor.
