Google Bets Big on HTML 5: News from Google I/O - O'Reilly Radar
What a loaded statement. This was at the beginning of Google I/O. Incredibly, the rest of the show proved their point. Google backed up all the grand assertions with running code and developer affirmations. Incredible. Here's a taste:
<i>...Google, Mozilla, and Palm gave us all a big whack upside the head this morning. As Shakespeare said, "The hot blood leaps over the cold decree." The technology is here even if the standards committees haven't caught up. Developers are taking notice of these new features, and aren't waiting for formal approval. That's as it should be. As Dave Clark described the philosophy of the IETF with regard to internet standardization, "We reject: kings, presidents, and voting. We believe in: rough consensus and running code."

Support by four major browsers adds up to "rough consensus" in my book. We're seeing running code at Google I/O, and I'd imagine the 4000 developers in attendance will soon be producing a lot more. So I think we're off to the races. As Vic said to me in an interview yesterday morning, "The web has not seen this level of transformation, this level of acceleration, in the past ten years."</i>

for enterprise application delivery, to say nothing of online entertainment and social software. In response, new kinds of
online experiences have begun to emerge, challenging old notions of what it means to browse the Web.
