   TL;DR the solution to HTML5 performance is to not use HTML5. They use JavaScript instead and get great results, but that's hardly fixing the problems of HTML5 like the article made it out to be. HTML remains slow, they are just putting

    I never understood this either. Aren't heart disease and obesity much bigger killers (statistically) within US borders? What if they flipped the medical and military budgets for just ONE term, what would happen…

    I leave it as straight up CSS and then add any overrides I need in a separate CSS file. That way when it comes time to upgrade I can just drop in the new Bootstrap CSS without worrying about a thing.
