It says the HTML5 standard is not slated to be complete until 2020. That seems ridiculous. Why so long?

#13Where do Flash games come into this? I'm not very familiar with the development of a flash game but some guy in this article claims "Flash will disappear" or something. I assume this means whatever source the games have will just be compiled into some other sort of file compatible with HTML5? Or am I missing something completely?]

#14Is it really AAPL that is giving massive boost? How about GOOG? Ohh..c'mon! Feels like I'm reading AAPL fanboi blog.

#15Youtube's HTML5 player is still very alpha and poorly designed (still no fullscreen?). It has hardly changed in over a year since it was released. I question Google/Youtube's commitment to moving to HTML5.

AFAIK, it isn't possible to watch fullscreen video in HTML5. At least, not in the way you with Flash.

Go to http://teevox.com and press F11. Works fine. Youtube could easily have a "full-page" button that also asks you to press F11.
(EDIT: just realised they disappear after a little while. Interesting.)
In any case, the fact that there is nothing clickable is baffling. I really don't understand why no-one thought to tackle this when discussing the tag.

He is implying that new content (including games) will be created in HTML5 using Canvas and JS instead of in Flash. While google has made a tool that can convert some content from Flash to HTML5 automatically (Swiffy), it only supports very old Flash content.
Adobe also has a tool for converting Flash to Canvas: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wallaby/
