In the end of 1990s everyone talked about how cool it is "to program DHTML". In fact, it was an umbrella term for HTML+CSS+JavaScript, there was no specific version of HTML, nor a public standard of what it means.

Now it's 2011 and everyone talks of HTML5, which is also a combination of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and some more additions like WebSockets, Localstorage etc.

So the question is, would it be correct to call DHTML a predecessor of HTML5, just the latter being a public standard? Or am I missing some point?
