I noticed that. I wonder how much of the confusion is owed to that project? That would go a long way toward explaining why this confusion seems common on HN (lots of web developers), but non-existent elsewhere. By the way, the way that article immediately (second paragraph) addresses the question is just odd and confusing. While some people refer to it as "HTML5Shim" with respect to shim (computing), there is no real difference between the names and as noted in the code repository, the only difference is that "one has an m and one has a v - that's it." Huh? Of course, that section of the article like the shim article edit I mention above is the work of one person in 2011 and the repository mention it cites for support no longer exists.
