I think this dude needs to read the first part of Coders at Work with Jamie Zawinski (in reference to Netscape). A version 1 system RUSHED to the public that actually works and has few bugs is amazing. The fact that it's difficult to read and hard to follow can be fixed just as bugs can in due time. I think the concept of "get it done and fix it later" is better than "take forever to work on it and someone already produced." I guess that's an age-old question we all ponder though.

He seems to be more peeved that it was promoted with the term "HTML 5." He has a point on that, if so. Do we want to see the term diluted to mean almost anything with a valid DOCTYPE, as Web 2.0 and AJAX were? Half the things on Delicious that are tagged AJAX are just basic Javascript..

  I think the problem is having the specification named "HTML5", if it has been named (as it was originally intended) "Web Applications 1.0" all this misunderstandings will go away.
