4. HTML5 is is a language for structuring and presenting
content for the World Wide Web, a core technology of
the Internet. It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard
(originally created in 1990 and most recently
standardized as HTML4 in 1997[1]) and as of August
2011[update] is still under development. Its core aims
have been to improve the language with support for the
latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by
humans and consistently understood by computers and
devices (web browsers, parsers etc.). HTML5 is
intended to subsume not only HTML4, but XHTML1 and
DOM2HTML (particularly JavaScript) as well.

6. Yes and No.
HTML5 is now ready for use by developers
provided they use fallbacks since the
specification for HTML5 is not yet finalized.
According to the W3C, HTML5 is still in
Draft. So expect changes to happen
anytime. The expected completion is 2022
or later. Although many parts of the
specifications are already stable and may
be implemented.
