HTML 5 May Have Security Challenges

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the man credited with discovering the current method that deliver pages to web browsers, says HTML5 is a big step forward, but it does have some security challenges. Of course, HTML 5 has not been rolled out for public use yet. That isn’t expected until some time next year or 2011.
I for one will be glad to see it. I love the new features being incorporated into HTML5 that currently require special hacks that rely on special knowledge gained for successful implementation. HTML 5 will make it easier for the average person to build web pages without needing multiple sources of reference material. And right now anyway, I think it will still present search engine optimziation benefits that exist in the current version.
Here are some the features HTML 5 will incorporate:
- Video
- Audio
- Mathematical equations
- Complex layouts
- 2-D animations
- Non-standard typefaces
If you have some time to watch. here is a really cool video about HTML 5 that I found that highlights additional features, etc:
All of these are currently supported by HTML 4, but each has a special coding structure that involves adding more code to your site and increasing your code bloat, or may require special hacks that also use a lot of code. With HTML5, the code will be streamlined.
I am anxiously awaiting the release of HTML 5 despite its potential security risks. The only browser currently not equipped to handle the changes HTML 5 will require is Internet Explorer (big surprise!).
