| Browsers do not implement HTML+, HTML2, HTML3.2, HTML4, HTML4.01, etc, as separate versions. They all just have a single implementation that covers all these versions at once. That is what the HTML Standard defines: how to write a browser (or other implementation) that handles _all previous versions of HTML_, as well as all the latest features. | ||

| One of the main goals of the HTML Standard and the WHATWG effort as a whole is to make it possible for archeologists hundreds of years from now to write a browser and view HTML content, regardless of when it was written. Making sure that we handle all documents is one of our most important goals. Not having versions does not preclude this; indeed it makes it significantly easier. | ||

I think "archeologists" is fine in en-US. I suggest we keep this one as-is.

Thanks for the clarification! I agree. I'll keep “archeologists” as-is and retain only the grammar correction.

Just to confirm: yes, American English allows both spellings; archaeologists and archeologists.
