Equally authoritative? I had no idea WHATWG was drafting specifications, let alone considered authoritative.

Many of the foundational specifications of the web are authored and maintained by the WHATWG these days: https://spec.whatwg.org/

- DOM, HTML: obvious

- URL, Encoding, Fetch: foundational building blocks

- XHR, Fullscreen, Notifications: important features

There are also other up-and-coming specs like Books, Figures, Streams, or Loader (the latter two not listed).

The spec site doesn't load for me on Firefox with RC4 disabled:

  Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)

Well, perhaps you haven't kept up then. It's a while since W3C was considered either authoritative or relevant for the modern web.

HTML5 is most all WHATWG.
