    How much do we care? Not being a wise ass, seriously wondering how long it will be before IE's conspicuous lack of support will become a problem in day to day browsing. Haven't kept up much with the HTML5 thing other than watching Apple bitch slap Adobe around a bit.

    That's why Google are pushing ahead with that Chrome Frame thingy, much to the annoyance of Microsoft and Mozilla. :)

              I know it's pretty ridiculous... I thought the same. They do seem to have done a lot along javascript lines though: [^]

                  Don't worry IE9 will have that support, So you are well covered.

                      What makes me laugh is that it is automatically assumed that all the "features" of HTML5 are not only *required*, but *desired*. Are they bollocks. Too much of the HTML5 spec looks like playground toys for hackers and malware producers -- giving them access, through a web page, to things that I don't believe that a web page should ever have access to. It will be far too easy for advertisers, spammers, and hackers to abuse.

                        But you can view the page, and every other web page, with it. What does that tell you about the can't-live-without-it-ness of HTML5? Wait until people start noticing that four out of five open web pages have each taken control of their webcam, microphone, etc, "just in case". HTML5 would have allowed Geocities to bring the internet to its knees.

                                    Have the NSC's passed the same points as Netscape? If they then they have 31 points + incompatibility. If they don't match some of the NS passed points then they have less than NS + incompatibility. So IE has 27 points and NS has 31 points. Who works out what the tests should be. Here is my list with just three tests. Can edit source code (Eg. Notepad); IE 1-7 yes, IE 8 no, Netscape no. Supports VB Script code; IE 1-3 no, IE 5-8 yes, Netscape no. Supports DIV's; IE 1-8 yes, Netscape 1-4 no, Netscape 5-SeaMonkey2 yes. There are many features that IE don't support, but there are also many features that the Netscape family don't support. OK. I picked features that Netscape don't support. Just like this test.
