HTML 5 specs are not complete.  And will not be for quite some time.  If you think HTML 6 is coming out anytime soon, you are sorely mistaken.  IE matters because it still controls 60% of the browser market.  No one is going to design their site with video tags that IE doesn't recognize.  They will just use Flash, and to a lesser extent Silverlight.  If you think Flash and Silverlight are going anywhere, you are mistaken.  Flex and Silverlight are programmer oriented tools that enable the creation of rich applications that are guaranteed to look the same in each browser.

And if you think HTML5 has anything at all to do with Java, you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.  You probably should have just left out that last sentence.

EDIT: Unless you are talking about applets, which were dead on arrival many years ago.

1. Who cares if its not complete. The spec as is has some amazing features.

2. I know it isnt going to be released soon... which is why I said by the time IE9 will be out which I doubt will be released till late 2010.

3. I know it doesn't. Just like Silverlight really has nothing to do with HTML. It is a reference to features provided by the software. IE Java's ability to present video.

4. IE DOES NOT CONTROL 60% OF THE MARKET.

1.  That was mostly going against your thoughts that HTML 6 will be out before IE9.

2.  The first draft of HTML 5 was released in Jan 2008, so it was worked on for a while before that.  It isn't even completed and you expect them to roll out a competely new spec within a year and a half?

3.  Point me to a site using Java to display video.  I rarely, rarely, rarely see applets used for anything these days.  Why exactly are you saying HTML 5 > Silverlight/Flash?  Ease of use?  No vendor lock in?

4.  http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=0&qpmr=15&qpdt=1&qpct=3&qpcal=1&qptimeframe=Q&qpsp=41, then again, these things are pretty inaccurate.
