I'm surprised that wsj is portraying that Apple is the driving force between HTML5. It seems to me to be a much more "grassroots" level idea than one coming from the top down.

Good lord. This is why I universally recommend journalists writing on technology take at least 6 months of programming instruction.

"A year and a half after Steve Jobs endorsed it in an unusual essay"...Must everything be explained in the context of Steve Jobs now?

The sad part is that if a journalist friend of mine sent this to me to proofread for technical content and asked about the HTML5 description, I'd have read it, sighed, thought, sighed, and replied "yeah sure that's fine".

Not because I'd want him or her to look silly but because what is already there (while not entirely accurate) is about as useful as anything else one could say about what "HTML5" is in a reasonable amount of words/pages.

I'm a big believer in jazzed-up images.
