[FLOW3-general] HTML5 - The Future of web based applications

[Thomas Fritz]

I think that is a good Idea. Especially when you look at the efforts Sencha
(before Ext) is doing. They released Sencha Touch which uses HTML 5 very
heavy. So i think they will do this for their ExtJS Library as well very
soon. Perhaps for the ExtJS 4.0 version, you can use some HTML5 features
over the ExtJS API.

So using HTML5 Doctype right now has no drawback.



Kind regards.
