Not to beat a dead horse, but I've spent the last two weeks rewriting my wife's web site in HTML5, on my G4. I write it in text edit, and check it in safari, ten4fox, opera, ie5, and Firefox. Well written code will render something usable on any browser, and give those flashy bits of fun on the latest browsers.
Good for you! It is great to see even small (sorry for the assumption about your website) site administrators switching their sites to HTML5 and getting rid of Flash and java script. This allows many platforms that are not capable of playing Flash and/or having javascript problems to fully appreciate your site, without having Flash or javascript capable browsers.
Html5 and css3 could spell the death of flash, and be a serious blow to java script, but good ridence to bad rubbish!
I could not agree more, of say it in less words, more clearly.
Finnaly, let's be clear, html5 is not fully implemented in any browser on any platform, thus the need for good coding practices, and backward compatability is written in to all HTML releases.
That is a very BOLD statement, as there is not way you could know about all browsers on all platforms, but I won't argue the point with you. I will agree with the second part of your statement regarding the need for good coding practices. Too many bad coding practices (or lazy coding practices) have been promoted and learned by far too many people, and for far too many years, resulting in a limited few remaining programmers that even know how to write good, clean, efficient code any more.
