  • HTML5 is in the limelight since the day Apple opted for it and rejected Flash, everyone from mobile developers to  Google to  Microsofthave backed the standard as the future. Everyone, that is, except for the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the official standards organization of the Web.

“There is already a lot of excitement for HTML5, but it’s a little too early to deploy it because we’re running into interoperability issues.I don’t think it’s ready for production yet. The real problem is can we make it work across browsers, and at the moment, that is not the case.” Philippe Le Hégaret, an official for W3C said.

His ” interoperability issues” remark is justified in the handling of  video content on HTML5, different devices and different browsers aren’t handling videos consistently.
