31 exciting indeed

Definitely looking forward to XHTML 5. I know that there are ways to do things in other languages that HTML5 now gives us the capability to do, but the point is that HTML5 will make it easier for us. Embedding SVG alone will make me a happy camper. Style and markup will still be separate despite what others say. More importantly the form validation should definitely be a part of the attributes in the input tag, not in another script. The submit scripts should only be used in handling, delivering, and or manipulating the data. Not to mention this will save me quite a bit of time with ifs, empty()‘s, &&, XOR, ><, ||, etc.. etc.. Thanks for the inspiring article. Can’t wait to start playing with it.

32 What I want to see from HTML5

What I’d like to see is some things that were put forward in XHTML 2.0.

The href attribute turning any element into a link and src tuning any element into an image. Lovely navigation list with only two (<li>, </li>) tags and three attributes (id, src, and href) per link instead of five tags (<li>, <a>, <img>, </a> </li>) and four attributes (id, src, alt, and href), here I come.

The <h> element. Yes, I’d love to see just a generic header element when I want a header for something that does NOT fit into a normal outline.

33 We'll See

I have my doubts about html5, its being pushed as a flash killer and it doesnt enable you do everything flash does even though it solves a good percentage of it, there is still going to have to be solutions there. If its used with Javascript constantly your going to have tons of code and conflicts. Not only that but it will be many years before the spec is even complete and in use and adopted by all browsers meaning it will be useless until it is. They do some things right but it has a LONGGG way to go and while it may solve some problems, it sounds like it will create new ones.

34 Its really time for someting new

I have gone trough both HTML 3 and table design and its really time to start some new standards to serve website visitors a much more interesting interactive experience. I have also tried HTML5 and its not as difficult as i thought, new components due to an easier way to use it and faster development situation.

Media implementation should be very good so it will be competitive to the SEO useless Flash technology.

I am looking forward to be more technical complicated in order to serve nicer and better experiences…

35 SEO

Clevelick Flash isnt actually useless to SEO, Google catalogues flash if its built right.

36 implementation

While it’s true that HTML5 in the desktop/laptop realm is not an implementation option at present, in the mobile space it is ready for prime time. AFAIK, >90% of the smart phone browsers understand HTML5 and this is a significant and fast growing segment of users. Many IT departments are beginning to realize that a mobile-optimized website is something that they need and are reaching out to developers for this service, and the solution is going to incorporate HTML5. Yes, corporate IT departments who don’t want to upgrade their desktop browsers from IE6 are not going away anytime soon (although IE9 promises as robust an HTML5 experience as the best of them), but those same folks who use Blackberries WILL be able to see HTML5 mobile-optimized sites, not to mention the millions of iPhone, Android, Palm and iPad users out there. So maybe the importance of the mobile web will accelerate these critical changes in the more traditional browser realm? Here’s to hoping!

37 Upgrade to HTML5?

All these new features are interesting – but is there any compelling reason to upgrade an existing website to HTML5?
