As far as I am aware, the
really great thing about HTML5 is the specification on error handling, which should hopefully mean that stuff looks the same in all browsers, no matter how it is coded.
Most of the "HTML5 demos" are more just people enjoying pushing something to its limits.

This sounds a lot like OpenGL.
OpenGL specifies how things must look. This sounds great, but in practice it isn't for anything high performance, because if the hardware doesn't do what you want, then you fall back on a software pipeline that's very slow compared to hardware.
So yes, you get the same result... but at a radically slower speed.
