Intellectual honesty and html5

For me (thinking as Apple) it's this simple:

- Let's create some demos of our new HTML5 support!

- Do we want to be responsible for users' bad experience if other browser vendors make mistakes or implement things differently than we did?

- No.

That's it. Nothing nefarious about it.

Did you read the article? Those demos are not even part of html 5 yet (the ones that don't work on chrome and firefox at least). So calling them HTML 5 was not honest and a shameless promotion of Safari. Also, most of the demo do work great on both Chrome and Firefox, except the demos that are not HTML 5.

I see now. It's all a scam to get me to buy Safari, right?

It's a scam to make you believe they care about standards.
