idiots... The only reason flash has been able to prosper is because of the stagnancy of IE after the demise of Netscape. But who do you think has the greatest hold on the web now? And who's pushing HTML 5 hard? That's right, once Google has displaced MS as the dictator of web standard, we can have some progress. And that means progress in every area that flash has an edge (video, vector gfx, etc). Oh and no more silly plugins, which many people can't even use. With standards, everybody wins.

Not nano, but I'd like to know what he's using too.

HTML5 actually has two forms - html5 and xhtml5. The only difference is that xhtml5 must be valid xml, including things like disabled="disabled".

No, that is when they expect to have two complete, bug free implementations.
As you saw in the video browser betas are starting to have html5 features right now.

Is he editing HTML in nano?

Nice tip. Thx. When we see it on blip tv, we'll know it started to happen.

Well, you can always use the video element and put the Flash blurb *inside* it (before the closing /video tag).
This way new browsers will display the native Theora video and ignore everything inside it (and this will work even if the user doesn't have flash installed), while old browsers like IE 6 will ignore the video tag and display the flash player as always.
Pretty much everything in HTML 5 offers some kind of backward compatibility with legacy browsers. |
