If you look at what's going on at Google and Mozilla you'll see how "HTML5" features might become adopted and standard way faster than what one might expect. Both of those see the Web as their business, and as such – their own to extend, patch up, speed up and evangelize. Kind of like what Microsoft feels like about C# and .NET, and Apple – about Objective-C, C and Cocoa. Palm and Nokia are also jumping on that train. So are many others. The future is not that bleak, dude.
