Er, which version of HTML do you have in mind? HTML2, HTM3.2, HTML4,
HTML4.01, HTML5, XHTML Basic, XHTML 1.0, XHTML 1.1 or XHTML2?

It was told more than once here: different languages exist for the reason,
just like spoon and fork exist for a reason. Should we start a committee to
unify those too?

Desire to change the world for the better is very good, but id doesn't hurt
to get to know the world before changing it...
