Browser Support for HTML5?
I would like to start a discussion about browser support for HTML5. This web page grades your current browser in various categories as to how well it supports various HTML5 features:
It would probably be a good idea for everyone to run it on the various browser you have installed. I tested it on the latest Firefox, IE8, Chrome, Safari and Opera. The results are a very mixed bag.
In the area of forms support, this site also shows that support for HTML5 is a bit haphazard:

Lacking browser support for HTML5 forms there is a project that has been created to emulate HTML5 forms support:
I have not yet installed modernizr, webforms2 and html5Widgets but I will probably take a look at it over the weekend.
I woudl be very interested in other's experience exploring HTML5 features in current browsers - especially forms support.
Which version of Firefox are you using? Have you tried IE9 beta?
Using FF 3.6.10; I did not try IE9 yet.
I was specifically interested in the two set of form features in HTML5: "form inputs" & "form attributes."

Firefox 4 is in Beta3, you should try it.
