#2I actually had no idea that Adobe has been working with so much HTML5-related technology, but Flash still really has to go for 99 percent of the web.

I think you are saying it’s inappropriate 99% of the time. If so, I agree.
(But if you are alluding to Adobe’s frequent claims of a 99% install base, my own stats indicate that only 95% of visitors have Flash 9 or newer installed.)

And the “Adobe doesn’t fully support HTML5” meme is hardly a canard: http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1265967771&count=1

Adobe's a tool company forged in the print world, where it's ok for a single, for-profit company to control an functionally option-less standard (See Pantone.)
Their biggest mistake was in buying Macromedia and trying to make Flash the Pantone of the web, instead of furthering the tools. It's the same thing as Microsoft when they tried to make an "open" document standard, which they naturally had inside- and first-knowledge of impending standard changes before their competitors.

The operative here is "with" (compared to the title's "for"). There are a few clear exceptions though (jQuery, TypeKit, etc).

You get a point for using an asterism.

#9It seems that Adobe wants to be prepared for the future, big +1 for contributing to jQuery Mobile.

Adobe is clearly a company in conflict. What they need is to hear from their customers, and more importantly, the development community at large, is that we are happy to see them increase their level of support for HTML5.
