[TYPO3-v4] HTML5

[Georg Ringer]

Hi Sebastian,

I completly agree that it is very important to use current technologies!
IMO you can't really compare WP to TYPO3 because of the following reasons:

- TYPO3 core is really not about the frontend. I do HTML5 in some
projects and got no problem with it.
- TYPO3 is really about the backend and at least with 4.4 a bit CSS3 is
already used there.
- TYPO3 needs to take care about IE6+. I know this sucks for some of you
but there are many really big companies using IE6 and if the core team
would just say "use webkit or smiliar" this would really not be good for
TYPO3.

About the introduction package: I could imagine that there are more
packages in future and one could be an ultra cool awesome HTML5-CSS3
template - if someone wants to do that?

You say it yourself. it works in IE8. But what about all other older
browsers.

it does focus on new web technologies but it needs to focus on many
other things too ;) And again: Do a stylish version of the introduction
package and you will rock for sure!
