Interesting post on the Template Monster blog about the proposed new HTML5 tags, even reminiscing about some of the tags we have to say goodbye to.
The closing paragraph sums up neatly;
“Again – what we’re trying to say is that, as cool as HTML5 looks and feels, it takes a lot of efforts and a little bit of witchcraft to forecast what the web is going to be all about within the next 5 years or so. Today these new tags and semantics approach really do look awesome and we totally love it, let’s just not forget that things have changed in order for us to be able to take advantage of them, the new features have to be used by us, the huge web community – that’s the only way for something that’s simply new to become new and useful.”
So true of many things beyond HTML5. It’s tough to see the future but at least participating gives you an element of control.
