Why does EPuB standards say they use HTML5 and not HTML4?
From what I grab, is that html 5 is more a browser thing, than a webpage thing.
It auto-corrects most common errors in HTML, doesn't use a <body> tag; but has additional <audio>, <Video>, <3D> and <Canvas>, the last one being the only one which could possibly be used on an ereader, however, I doubt that anyone is willing to give up pixels for a canvas on their already small screens...
Quote:
<acronym> : The <acronym> tag is not supported in HTML5. Use the <abbr> tag instead. The <acronym> tag was used to define acronyms in HTML 4.01.
<applet>: The <applet> tag is not supported in HTML5. Use the <object> tag instead.

I doubt that e-readers are using this feat, though I would be interested in if anyone ever has thought about using these feats in an ebook?
I'm not sure in what degree current ebook readers support all these tags, and if perhaps some devices would freeze or perhaps just ignore the tag?
The "<map>" feat. seems quite interesting!
If the hardware supports it, it would allow you to create and play adventure games on an e-ink device. It allows you to click on different locations on a picture, and get a different result depending on where you click on it.
If e-ink readers accept this feat., you could create a picture click adventure.
