Very cool, but I'm not sure creating a site that looks JUST like a flash site is really the right direction... ;)

You've got to convince the masses, that you can do Flash ... without flash first, before you can get them to stop using flash.

As soon as the masses decide that HTML5 = "Flash, but better", everything that is bad about Flash will rapidly become everything that's bad about HTML5.

Changing the underlying technology will not change the people who use it.

It will be worse. This stuff can't be contained with simple tools like Flashblock. Unless you want to block all Javascript by default, which will probably break 99% websites in the near future.

At least people can do view source this time, though obfuscated JavaScript can be a pain.
