The bad thing about branding them collectively as some sort of "HTML5 standard" is when people start calling other browsers non-compliant with standards that aren't even stable targets yet. Or targeting one browser's draft implementation, without even checking to see which other browsers have comparable support.

This is like "Draft-N" Wireless too.

At least there was only one draft of N.

Is this a joke? There were 13 approved drafts of 802.11n. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11n#Timeline

Rather, all the draft-N devices I'm aware of interoperated. If you bought a draft-N network card, it didn't stop working the day after they published a new version, as far as I know.
