HTML5 has one major challange that it's proponents seem to forget about and that's: (drumroll please) users! HTML5 doesn't make any sense for Win-XP users becuase IE 8 doesn't support HTML5. Until every Win-XP user upgrades to Win-7/8 HTML5 is dead in the water!
See how fast these Windows Monkeys will move to another browser when large portions of the Internet use HTML5.
NT4 has been out of support for years now and win2K in 2010
does that mean my NT4 or 2K boxes just died when support ended
no it means I take then down following the last month of support
do a fresh install get all updates installed and the system configured
then take one last base image for restore at any time in the future
my (now 18 year old) win3.1 boxes didn't die either when support ended over 10 years ago and they still run fine
XP will not just "Die" in 2014
I'm still doing rebuilds with custom configs on old XP boxes
for those who can't afford or justify spending for new boxes

According to upsdell.com, IE8 and below make up between 34% and 68% of the market (range of 4 different calculations). Does this mean that an HTML5 site will break on half (or so) of all machines?
And what do you do about this? Is there a workaround? Or do you add a tag at the top that says, "Best viewed with Firefox (or Chrome)"?

HTML5 is an awesome technology with a very serious flaw. It does not work with XML schema (xsd). This means that data can be displayed but cannot be retrieved from or stored in XML pages. The great advantage of the forms present in HTML5 does not appear to be of any use. There are unneeded syntactic differences between HTML5 and XML schema. The 1.1 version of XML schema includes assertions and has fixed several real problems that were present in version 1. Version 1.1 has also provided a means to interleave schemas, which would have permitted an XML schema 1.1 version of HTML5 to be used together with CSS to format XML content. I believe that the lack of interoperability of HTML5 and XML schema based XML data-types will seriously interfere with the development of the US health information technology system.
