AFAIK, it isn't possible to watch fullscreen video in HTML5. At least, not in the way you with Flash.
It's possible in Safari. Mozilla and Opera have said they'll support it in the future. Here's an example in Safari: http://videojs.com/
The iOS and Android browsers have laughable HTML5 support. On paper they may seem OK, but implementations are highly buggy at best. (Speaking from the perspective as an HTML5 game dev.) WP7 might be the first to have a good default browser for HTML5, and that kind of dumbfounds me. Get on the ball, Apple and Google. I know it's in your best interests to keep the more powerful stuff out of your mobile browsers, but th…
Are you talking about the un-released version of WP7, Mango? Because as far as I know HTML5 support is missing from WP7 currently, with its IE7 mobile browser. If you're going to compare the IE9 mobile browser, compare it with iOS 5.0 browser and Android 4.0 browser (also coming out this fall).
This is an odd disparity between desktop and mobile because IE9 is definitely the worst HTML5-supporting desktop browser. But on mobile it's going to be top dog.

What relevance does iOS's HTML 5 support have when comparing to flash? (Or did I miss flash arriving on the iPhone?) On android, you can use alternate browsers. If google doesn't improve the built-in browser, something like Firefox can displace it.

Totally possible that when you get down and dirty with games they are not great, but from the perspective of a general web dev they are awesome and let you do any of the standard things you'd want to on the desktop side with ease (again, talking about regular web apps here, not games).
It says the HTML5 standard is not slated to be complete until 2020. That seems ridiculous. Why so long?
Unless things have changed recently Mozilla and Microsoft are refusing to support the SQL lite definition. MS avoiding the open source in favor of there own SQL implementation and Mozilla going to for a super cookie hash table nosql thing.
Video is a disaster, audio the same, I'm sure theres more. I've given up and am only supporting iOS HTML 5 for the foreseeable future.

For me, the biggest problem I have trying to use HTML5/Javascript/CSS for a game is sound. I can't get background music and sound effects working simultaneously under iOS using just those standards.
is that a deficiency of the iOS browser or the HTML5 standard?
EG: No sound effect from an alien shooting at you.
