Is it me or are some words missing in the 2nd paragraph? It makes it hard to follow the article.

It is an example of bad online journalism.
Apparently the writer is quoting an official, but to find who he is quoting you have to click on the link "today". So you naturally think "today" is probably a link to the event, so it ends up being an article with an unnamed quote.

Yup, the start of the first sentence should read "An official from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) told reporters today" rather than "An today".
Bad markup being the culprit - somewhat ironically.
