Despite all the excitement about the possibilities that HTML5 offers for a better world wide web, I believe there is a critical flaw in the go-forward plan of those who are feeling the momentum. The problem is that they still haven't got ~80% of the web browser makers on board! By which I mean they haven't got you-know-who.
There's really only one way to break the loggerjam and move forward with advancing the state of the web. We need to get you-know-who out of the way of progress by showing that we can innovate on the web with or without their participation. We have now shown that this is feasible by way of the ubiquity strategy based on our ability to deliver an interactive web application language in multiple web browsers with no client-side plugins and no server-side processing of the language.

For all web advancement technologies, including HTML5, the longer term effect of the ubiquity strategy should be that the late bloomers are shamed into implementing the advancements, thereby obviating the need for the ubiquity code. But meanwhile the ubiquity strategy is the way to enable web advancement technologies including HTML5 to emerge (in the proactive verb sense of the word).
