And Finally...

Hopefully, you’ve been enlightened by our brief foray into the new structures and APIs that you can use.

There are loads more cool but not-yet-implemented things in the spec that we haven’t shown you. For example, you’ll be able to register the browser as a content handler (registerContent-Handler) so that clicking a document, photo, or video on your desktop opens the browser and goes to a web application that can edit that document, complete with application toolbars (using <menu> and <command>), all built with HTML5. Awaiting implentation.

Forget the marketing BS of “Web 2.0.” We’re at the beginning of Web Development 2.0: powerful languages like HTML5, SVG, and CSS3 will revolutionise the way we build the Web. Browsers support more and more aspects of these languages, and you can be certain that further support is being added daily.
