C'mon dude, it's a bit chicken and egg. What's the alternative? One singularity sits hidden in the dark to build a standardised format to be distributed and used by all with no debate or experimentation? or a infinite implementations of the same ideas each supported in their own way. And your title, html5 sucks? its not really a problem of html5, html 4, xhtml, css, javascript, java pretty much anything that isn't controlled by a single entity is going to be hit with this issue. |

The post is meant for debate.
I'm pretty much certain that everyone can agree that the web is currently non-standard, because its easy to demonstrate:
As I said in my other post, browse it with Chrome, then with Firefox, you can't view the same sites. Try to play Plink, linked from HN, in Firefox, or IE, or Opera. Nope. The reverse is also true. Heck most of us made websites and have used js libraries just because it simplifies the process. Most of use used -moz /-webkit for CSS3 stuff a year or two ago, and we still need them today.
I do not claim to have a solution. If the engineers building up tons of new awesome tech for the web are more aware about this issue, we might make it better together. Heck, in the past we were finishing the technology drafts and going onto the next version.
HTML5 has been in the works for years and I'm not quite sure it will ever get a "finished" stamp.
And I hope no one will propose "simple, kill Firefox, IE, Opera and lets all use Webkit!" :p
