HTML v5 holds the promise of adding a huge amount of power to the Web brower, and eliminating unwieldly add-ons, like Flash.
One key to the increase in graphics capability is the new <canvas> tag. Over at mrdoob.com/blog/post/689, Ricardo Cabello is displaying his visual experiments with HTML 5 -- including Harmony, a procedural drawing program.
Check out Harmony at mrdoob.com/lab/javascript/harmony/ and try drawing with the various tools. The effects are most effective when you draw slowly in large loops, and especially with Long Fur and Web. (Draw faster for smaller entities; slower for larger ones).
HTML 5 must be pretty good, since it even works in the Opera v10.2 Web browser that I use, as well as the Safari browser on the iPhone.
Imagine an entire CAD program running in HTML 5.
