It certainly can make business sense to use technologies that aren't yet supported by 100% of browsers in the wild. • Websites that are mobile-only • Things that aren't websites but use HTML5 for UI (e.g. many native mobile and de

No you missed my point, completely. I didn't say anything about the changes in iOS7. I don't know whether they are good or bad for general users, and neither does the OP. Both of us can have our own feelings about it, and both can
