Refreshingly well written ("relaxed" is the word that came to mind).
He highlights a paragraph which apparently is the important bit (and it is) but this, for me, is the really insightful statement (in the last section):
HTML5 is in a dangerous place since everyone wants to own it, but everyone is in a different place in terms of support or even what it means.
So true. This is the risk with HTML5 - it is becoming a buzzword for companies such as Apple to jump on and market with. Which isn't a bad thing; unless it is at the detriment of the standard.
I agree, a refreshing analysis.
You're right in pointing out that line, but I think his highlighted paragraph (esp. the first few lines) provide some context for understanding/simplifying the conclusion.
The most important aspect of HTML5 isn’t the new stuff like video and canvas (which Safari and Firefox have both been shipping for years) it’s actually the honest-to-god promise of interoperability.
