Things we know:
* The term html5 has been used loosely to describe the next generation of emerging browser standards for a long time. After this tempest in a teapot, it will continue to be so. Until someone comes up with something better, this is well and good.
* Safari uses vendor prefixes for its introduction of emerging standards, just like, e.g., Firefox. This is good software engineering practice since it allows developers to start testing and using new standards, but won't conflict with finalized standards.
* Apple created a page showing how they are on the forefront of implementing some of these emerging standards. Note that since it was a page about their own browser's implementation of emerging standards, they required the use of their browser for the demos. Random people on the Internet don't get to redefine the purpose of Apple's web page and then wax righteously indignant. If you want to see examples of Apple creating pages that work in all the major browsers, please visit ANY OTHER PAGE ON APPLE'S SITE.
