Well, since that page is actually a doctype of XHTML 1.0 Transitional (not HTML5, although one could say it's HTML5 because it uses some HTML5 tags but it's clearly XHTML 1.0) and that it doesn't work I'd say it's wasteful. However, is it wasteful to create a working site in HTML5, depends on your audience and the type of content you need to implement. If it's a site like this one that suppose to be all rich interactive (aka using the canvas tag) and has to work in IE6/7/8 then it might be wasteful since you'd want to also create a flash version to replace the canvas tag for those versions of browsers that don't support the canvas tag yet. However, for all other tags in HTML5 you would be fine building a site with them today and not be wasteful. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jason Arnold http://www.jasonarnold.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
