You mentioned Mobile, but forgot Responsive? I think HTML5 is pointless unless it’s Responsive.

I don’t really see the real benefit that html5 will bring as I can already do everything that html5 brings. Also how can you expect to use something that isn’t supported by the majority of browsers that are currently in use? What i find truly fascinating is the fact that adding in a javascript function (point 3) will replicate the new features anyway?! Seems to me that xhtml 1.1, flash, javascript can achieve the same results already. Point 6 doesn’t provide much comfort to the new EU law on user information. (http://www.cookielaw.org/)

I totally agree with you Eric,
HTML5 is the “real” future but to be honest, its still under construction in many areas. At the same time, we have to do a better job in getting folks to not depend on older browsers like IE7 and IE8 anymore. Has anyone used IE9? It’s a like a whole new light for Microsoft. This is not to say that it doesn’t come with issues but it is super advanced compared to any other project Microsoft has launched! Someone in the company FINALLY got tired of IE sucking and fired a bunch of old folks and hired a squad of talented teenagers. I am anticipating IE10 to be very promising! I am also anticipating for HTML5 to be more stable across all major SEO browsers within 5 years. Until then, HTML4 and custom jQuery/CSS rule the spine of the world with a great sword.

Eric, dude, you are right! The html5 time has not come yet, really, it’s not ready. Html5 is great, but for now the most browsers are not support all the tags and attributes of html5, so if you want to use html5 for creating sites, you have to add some jquery plugins or some features in code which increase the time of loading your site and etc. Html5 time will come after 2-3 years i think.

could not agree more with your stance, Eric. I see the list provided by Patrick as useless drivel that no designer or coder should take notice of. Many of his reasons do not add up, and when it comes down to it the code examples show a poor command of CSS.

Quite a useless mis-informed list you have created here. Well done for propaganda and nothing more. When it finally comes out of draft and browsers properly support it’s features that will be the time to use HTML5.
