HTML 5

I've avoided doing any HTML/Javascript related work since HTML 3.2
Lately I've noticed HTML 5 being talked about in the usual tech forums and I thought it's just some incremental improvements with a video tag being thrown in. I was mistaken.

The proposed HTML 5 standard apparently covers not just video, but how you can manipulate images and shapes in the browser as well. The appearance of the canvas element should be a welcomed specification. Finally Flash will not be the only player in town(Silverlight too?).

I'll be looking closely at the canvas element. Graphics is something I love playing with since the microcomputer days( 10 GR: 20 PLOT 10,20)
