What HTML5 is and isn’t
Like “Ajax”, HTML5 has become a bit of an umbrella term. Some people lump all kinds of unrelated technology like SVG, CSS 3, CORS, JavaScript, Geolocation, even webfonts in with it.
Remy and I are guilty too; we talk about Geolocation, Web Workers and Web SQL in our book Introducing HTML5.
Here’s a somewhat tongue-in-cheek handy cut-out-and-keep diagram that shows what is and isn’t HTML5, and also showcases my kick-ass design skills.
If you’re not busy next week, I’m building an HTML5 page from scratch (with Notepad++ and two visual aids) at Future of Web Design in London on Wednesday.

Hey Bruce!
You’re a Notepad++er too? I just stumbled across a cool new plug-in called Zen Coding:

There are varieties for all sorts of IDEs, but I checked out the Notepad++ version and it is slick! Something that might add a bit more WOW to your presentation…
Cheers,
