The State of HTML5 - Inaugural Address
summary
Cuts feature lists into Dependable / Experimental / Edge, shows polyfills and a live plan to make things usable now, and documents the HTML5 Readiness checklist and demos. Uses Modernizr feature detection, a yepnope conditional loader, mediaelement shims, WebSocket Flash fallback and IndexedDB/WebSQL notes. Demos include video→canvas ASCII, file API + drag‑drop + history pushState used by Dropbox, a WebGL demo scaling to 200 fish, and experimental getUserMedia and audio data pipelines—most work, some require shims or limited browsers.
