The self-proclaimed 'Superfriends' have come out with a positive note supporting HTML5 that is actually a cover letter to their significant concerns over some issues they and others have been raising for quite some time now.
Their list of concerns crosses off the issue that's been raised with the time
element (this just happened), so at least it feels like there has been some progress.
If you're curious, the Superfriends are: Dan Cederholm, Tantek Çelik, Wendy Chisholm, Aaron Gustafson, Jeremy Keith, Ethan Marcotte, Eric Meyer, Nicole Sullivan, and Jeffrey Zeldman.
Don't ask me about the unicorn.
