following: bool, numeric, string, and list. Rather than adding new types like address, zip code, or other silliness. They should have added formats. And IMHO, they should have been akin to CSS styles -- DMS (data modeling sheet). Base one inherent, plus the ability to create your own CSS defined "format". As soon as I saw all these new data types I realized that HTML5 went down the path of "stupid". What happens when something new comes out. Say suddenly we have "eaddress", as opposed to email. Say the post office decides to scan mail and let you read it via an eaddress. Or any other new type of input. HTML5 immediately becomes out-of-date and non-definable. I didn't see it as really competitive with Flash today but did feel that down the road it might. But I see JS being a major weakness. Even with things like JQuery, you're forced to write very convoluted code. And that's not going to change unless a new Scripting language is brought in. (Which Google is already working towards with Dart.) Adobe has just pretty much taken the proverbial shotgun, and pointed it at it's head. Sadly, it pointed it at all it's loyal developer base. Said in an extremely delayed, vaguely written blog. Then you leave us hanging with a million questions yet again. Why aren't you going through and answering every single comment? All the other Adobe employees/evangelists seems to be handling this, not to mention there are two of you. Careers
