I have been talking about this lately and find that many folks are uaware of HTML5 and the role thatis emergng for it. I thought this post from O’Relly Radar was educational:

Just FYI: “HTML5 is being developed as the next major revision of HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the core markup language of the World Wide Web.” HTML5 introduces a number of new elements and attributes that reflect typical usage on modern Web sites. Some of them are semantic replacements and inline elements. Other elements provide new functionality through a standardized interface, such as for advanced audio and video elements. HTML5 ‘may’ mark an end to Flash and plug ins or mobile Apps (& App Stores). It could be a big step forward in mobile usability.

We’ll see. It will be an interesting stage to watch.
