When should I adopt HTML 5?
OMG! HTML 5, what the heck is that! I have to learn that as well; what’s this CSS3 and Canvas bit?
I’m sure your list will extend beyond my weak attend to formulate the questions you have about HTML 5… but I can say these questions flash across my mind when I started coding up a test site with HTML 5 standard(working) practices 
For me I’ll wait a while, meaning we all have a number of years before the folks over at WHATWG put their stamp of approval on this thing in 2022 or more. It’s like any new standard, there’s always problems with these things! Heck, this HTML 5 thing will be around for awhile. At least in my career. Awhile you say? Although most of the draft concepts of HTML 5 have been written it is clear to me that we will needs sometime to sort through which browsers will support the code base, the scramble to retro fit previous code models and the date in which this so called draft HTML 5 standard will actually become a standard. PSST…. And more…
So, whats the hype about? This HTML 5 is going to be a fade and a waste of some valuable time on the behalf of the creators! Well, that will be determined by the public and ultimately those who choose to jump on board(early adoption in my mind is key). The hype is out there, go look for it. I’m not here to shove the HTML BS on your plate, but keep your eyes pealed; BEWARE! there are a number of sites that can help you out, if you choose the HTML 5 path!
