Though it’s believed that HTML5 will not be fully completed until 2022, some features can already be implemented within our work today, while others are still in development or haven’t even been started. This graph provides a clear understanding of some of the more important HTML5 attributes and elements and what browsers currently support them. It also gives insight to the heated battle between Flash and HTML5 video, which many big companies have already switched too, namely Apple with the iPhone and iPad.
Another nice feature that HTML5 offers in different ways is shorter, cleaner code which helps reduce file size and allows for faster web browsing. This video provides some other elements that are already widely supported right now and help with cleaning up some code.
Dive Into HTML5 is an in-progress online manuscript that is another good resource into the current and future world of HTML5
The geek inside me is excited to see the outcome of HTML5 over the next decade. I have my fingers crossed that it will allow for a better way to bring typography to the web minus Flash or Javascript or some other type of plug-in, but who even knows what computers will look like or how they will perform in 2022 and whether or not something even more substantial will have come along to replace it all, though I doubt it.
