Sure, just like shiny Flash components that don't impede usability make the customers want more. I'm not against HTML5, and an open standard is better than Flash, I just hope people won't use 'it's the standard' as an excuse to throw together complete websites on a Canvas and break copy and paste, scrolling, bookmarkibility etc., all those things that suck so much about Flash websites.

Maybe I just don't know enough about Canvas and will it play nicer with the html/css separation model than Flash does, but from what I've seen so far I'm not getting my hopes up.
