It's not the same thing, is it? I don't know, but I doubt it supports
speech CSS (for Emacspeak) and it didn't DTRT with multilingual text
last I knew. There are definite advantages to being able to format
HTML in a buffer with the normal Emacs faces, amongst other things.
You have to tackle the same sort of issues somehow if you want Emacs
to do WYSIWYG sort of stuff, though I wasn't convinced by how Bill
proposed to develop W3. (I'd hope that with Emacs you can avoid `what
you see is all you get', by the way.) Admittedly it's easier to deal
with a properly-defined format rather than the `HTML' mess on the web,
and it may not be worth the effort to work on W3. Presumably it needs
a policy decision.
Note that W3 can support a superset of Info features with Texinfo
rendered to HTML. At least, it could when I worked on it, and doing
that even suggested useful Texinfo extensions. I think necessary
features I put in the original Texinfo HTML output were junked, and
the W3 support I added was in an old codebase, but it wasn't much
work.
