The HTML5 that we talk about on Hacker News can be found at http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/ http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/. The HTML5 that the tech press talks about (I provided two of a large number of examples) is something entirely different: it refers to the general process of improving today's browsers. The day the HTML5 spec is approved, nothing will have changed on this front. It's similar to how parts of CSS3 have been implemented before any browser has completely implemented CSS2.1. Improving browsers is a process, and it is not a single news story ("HTML5 NOW KILLS FLASH!" -- "HTML5 NOT READY TO KILL FLASH YET!").
