HTML5 is still in its infancy.  It won't be finalized until 2022!  No
shitting, 2022!

The fight over the "official" video codec still isn't over.  Google
has presented a nice open codec, so there's hope.  I don't see HTML5
replacing Flash on a large scale across the entire Internet for at
least 5 to 10 years.  You'll see stuff like what Youtube is doing,
offering HTML5 as an option along side Flash, but you won't see a site
get rid of Flash entirely for a very long time.
