An exhibition of human corpses is offering a new opportunity for life after death that’s as easy as filing in a simple form. Then you have to die, of course.

In the letter, which is signed by people like Brendan Eich (Mozilla Foundation) and Håkon Wium (Opera Software), it is suggested that the future HTML-version from W3C should be named HTML 5.

The 3 companies also promises to give W3C none-exclusive copyright on the HTML 5 specifications if the work group accepts the propositions.
