    "That takes me to about 5000 articles, none of which seem to answer the question very directly."

    Actually the first result for "HTML 5 browser support" is a super detailed list of which browsers support what.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Com…

    Lots of red in that chart:) Like stew says though, asking whether browsers support 100% of HTML 5 isn't going to be that useful of a question anytime soon. To put this in perspective, here's a similar chart from just a few years ago show browser support for HTML 4 and CSS.

    What's really going to matter to your client is how well-supported the features they want to implement are, and most clients probably aren't thinking about things like the <month> and <week> tag when they ask about HTML 5. You can see that <video> and <audio>, on the other hand, are supported (imperfectly) in Firefox, Chrome and Safari but not IE. The layout elements like <header>, <footer> and <details> are not yet supported at all, but they will be here soon for Chrome and Safari.

    • I'm not sure why the client should even care about the details of implementation.
