Fine, Yoshi. Some weird "standards" universe, this must be!
Flash, which has almost 100% penetration, which is supported by EVERY major browser, and ustilized by most of the major sites on the web, is not a "standard?"
But HTML5, which is still in draft mode, which is supported to only varying degrees by the major browsers, which very few are brave enough to actually use, is a standard?!
Here is what it says on the HTML5 draft page:
"Implementors should be aware that this specification is not stable. Implementors who are not taking part in the discussions are likely to find the specification changing out from under them in incompatible ways."
And again, I am still amazed by the ignorance of some about HTML5 and Flash. HTML5, even when adopted,
will NOT be a comprehensive replacement for Flash. Flash is
Not only for video. There are applications where Flash will remain a better tool than HTML5.
I am reposting the link to
The Future of Web Content – HTML5, Flash & Mobile Apps, hopefully it will enlighten some as to the capabilities of Flash and HTML.
