To "toastedzergling"'s comment also (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6007986" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6007986</a>), the term "HTML5" seems to always be used in the wrong way. People use it as a buzz word, when they don't actually realize what they are really describing. In the context I usually hear it, they typically mean CSS3 or javascript features, not actual HTML5 features.<p>While I think HTML5 does offer some exciting features, I also think people need to know the differences between what HTML5 is and more importantly, what it is not.<p>Because even the graphic they show in the article (<i>“HTML5″ is currently the #1 job trend based on the fastest growing keywords found in online job postings...</i>) says just how recruiters and job listings use that specific term. 90% of the time I see that used, it's a keyword as just wanting you to know general HTML, but they use the phrase HTML5 over "HTML" because it sounds better.<p>For kicks, this site probably marks the biggest confusion that I always hear with HTML5: <a href="http://iscss3partofhtml5.com/" rel="nofollow">http://iscss3partofhtml5.com/</a> <i>spoiler alert: NO.</i><p>EDIT: No clue why I'm being down-voted? As the perspective of a front-end designer who just recently was very active in the job market, this was ALWAYS the case. None of the companies were actually using true HTML5 features or wanted to use true HTML5 features, they were just using CSS3 or jQuery. Obviously it was just a recruiter trying to use buzz terms to describe knowing general HTML.
