W3C Says IE9 Is Currently the Most HTML5 Compatible Browser

GIL_Dude writes "The W3C posted results for their latest HTML5 compatibility tests and have found that, so far, IE 9 has the best overall results. 'The tests cover seven aspects of the spec: "attributes," "audio," "video," "canvas," "getElementsByClassName," "foreigncontent," and "xhtml5." The tests do not yet cover web workers, the file API, local storage, or other aspects of the spec. Not do they cover CSS or other standards that have nothing to do with HTML5 but are somehow lumped under HTML5 by the likes of Apple, Google, and Microsoft.'"

Re:What kind of a "standard" is this?

Technically ... neither is IE9. This article seems to fail in pointing out that it just compared a browser still in the preview phase to other browsers that are released.

The "released" browsers are:

Google Chrome 7.0.517.41 beta
Firefox 4 Beta 6
Opera 11.00 alpha (build 1029)
Safari Version 5.0.2 (6533.18.5)

The only one which doesn't have "beta" or even "alpha" in its name is Safari. So probably that one is actually released.
