    I'm really curious to see what Adobe does with CANVAS and SVG. Will they build a new application? Implement into DW or Flash somehow? Or just wait and see before doing anything?

    There was that whole weird issue back in February, where the Adobe rep in the HTML5 working group made some kind of formal objection stopping the spec from being published. Apparently his problem was that a few of the elements of HTML5 (which included CANVAS) were technically "out of scope" for this release because of the way the original plan had been drawn up and they should be dropped from the HTML5 spec and pursued separately.

    Ian Hickson, who oversees the whole HTML5 process (the industry side of it), seemed to think they were trying to derail CANVAS being included.

    It's hard to really know because the whole process is so inside baseball with lots of different interest groups involved.
