    I can understand them delaying it if they need to make changes to it, but if it is just old browsers that is stopping it I say go ahead, might finally get all those slackers with old browsers to upgrade

    I agree with Flash477, anything that can be done to encourage people/companies to upgrade to more modern and securer web browsers is surely a good thing. Why should the rest of the web community be held back because some do not want to upgrade from ie6?

    PS I realise that some companies will find it differcult to move from ie6 as their infrastructure may rely on specific software written for ie6 (or other version).

    No, the problem is, if companies start deploying HTML5 browsers and pages *now*, that'll mean the draft HTML5 standard will be prematurely entrenched before it's ready for consumption and will be fragmented and highly resistant to change like what happened to IEEE802.11n.
