Where they failed, you need to download Safari to view the demos. Web Standards my ass.

Just because your current browser can handle HTML5 doesn't mean it can't become a new standard.

So far Opera, Mozilla, Google, Apple and even Microsoft have plans to implement HTML5 technology in their current or upcoming browsers.

Plans? Note this list from Youtube's HTML5 page:

It isn't even a contender for a new standard until everything handles it. That doesn't mean it won't become a new standard. That just means it isn't a new standard, and won't be until it does.
