A couple things to watch in terms of standardization:
Will IE 9 support CANVAS?
There are rumors out there that it will, but I haven't seen anything official. This would be the big shoe to drop that would make HTML5 a serious competitor to Flash for rich web apps.How will the video codec battle shake out?
In that big announcement Microsoft made yesterday about how they will firmly support HTML5 Video, the flip side is that they will ONLY support H.264, which is by far the most popular video codec, but potentially has some strings attached in terms of licensing fees. Apple and most mobile devices support H.264, Firefox had tried to push the Ogg Theora codec.
