    i think one thing that holds everyone back is a committee deciding a standard. look how slowly css has evolved over the last decade.

    compare that to community-based open source projects (jquery) or 3rd party companies pioneering new technologies both of which move much quicker. take a look at microsoft, who created ajax (way before it was called that) via a (ironically) built-in active-x plugin, which was later quickly natively adopted by firefox and safari using the xmlhttprequest object, and is now native in ie as well.

    we've been waiting on html5 since it's inception which was waaay back in 2004. hurry it up, yo!

    • The irony is we could use CANVAS, AUDIO, VIDEO, and SVG if it wasn't for IEukit
    • It's not the spec that is holding that back, it's companies NOT implementing standardsukit
    • no, as you even admitted above, canvas has limitations. and even if you won't admit it, it's true.SteveJobs
    • LOL...wha? I said excanvas had limitations. In other words, project looked great on Chrome, Safari, FFukit
    • and almost worked on IE but not quite. So that was a compatibility issue.ukit
    • In terms of extending the abilities of CANVAS, I think JS is the place for that.ukit
    • I mean look at what has already been accomplished with stuff like this: http://mugtug.com/da…

    • Or the Chrome experiments site: http://www.chromeexp…ukit
