Silverlight at an End... RIP

Posted on 11:19 by Unknown
I was aghast when I saw this article...

http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/307687/html_5_could_it_kill_flash_silverlight?fp=16&fpid=1

don't get me wrong I think html 5 is great but there are so many wholes and are we really expecting all the browser's to get together and get it straight as to rendering behavior? not to mention all the nonsense about 'assumed' markup that browsers try to fix poorly formed markup. I mean really why not just use the SGML spec and call it good...

Any case with the coming trends towards UX and high touch I think the html 5 spec is too little to late for killing Silverlight and flash.
