You will see the difference.

3 - again, simply not true. But if that is what you belive, then it explain why you came up with that prediction.

4 - there are no browser that fully support html5 for the simple reason, html5 is still only a draft of what may come

The case for proprietary add-ons: They're better and available today

I have see this "HTML 5 is really the second coming of the internet" since the first draft came. Hell, nobody even know if its fully developed in 5 years.

Look how long it have taken to get CSS to where it is today, and its still far from complete.
