So I ask, will HTML5 be the open standard that is ubiquitous? I kind
of doubt it. I don't have in-depth knowledge of HTML5 so I hope I
don't sound too foolish here. But I doubt that a decoder and player
will actually be programmed within the HTML5 language.
The decoder(s) are plug-ins for Flash.
Flash simply provides the framework (shell) for the player and the
ability to build dynamic content (mostly animations).
There are MANY examples of the HTML5 framework playing h.264 content
on the web today. This is the EASY part.
Developing a viable open standard for authoring and delivering
dynamic content is the bigger issue with HTML5. It remains to be seen
if Apple can be the Pied Piper and lead the web development community
away from Flash.
By the way, Adobe does not lose if HTML5 wins. They can very easily
use their entire authoring infrastructure that is in place for Flash
dynamic media content today, to create HTML5 content, just as they
have developed the cross compiler to create iPhone and Android apps...
