Should we be moving onto HTML5 now or is it still too soon? I see that the YouTube HTML5 example still doesn't fully work in Firefox, Opera or Chrome, but if we don't use any advanced features should be move on?
There is nothing wrong with using HTML 4.01 at the moment but it seems that browser makes are trying to support more HTML5 nowadays for "a better web". I don't expect anything fairly advanced to work just yet but since HTML5 is backwards compatible with HTML 4.01, it is still possible, right?
The main reason is for semantics such as <time> and stuff like that. They do not have any function in a regular browser but it would be nice to start using them. Also in some cases I can actually save a few bytes off of my pages.
