Perhaps some might call me petty, but in my mind, credibility takes a serious hit when mistakes like "many more have there chips on the table" are made.

That being said, I think this is a good attempt to encapsulate HTML5 into a short statement (which should, as others have pointed out, really be broken up into multiple paragraphs). I'm not so sure it is a good encapsulation; but certainly a good attempt.

That is petty. Most of the great thinkers of the world have not known English even well enough to write that. It is illogical to question somebody's credibility merely on the basis of minor language mistakes.

(In the same spirit: The semicolon in your final sentence should be a comma. But it doesn't affect my judgment of you one way or the other. ;) )

you are saying that it should say "many more have their chips on the table". That was an honest mistake. I proofread, a lot . This has been sitting on my editor for 2 weeks, at least. I just miss things like that. Thanks for pointing it out.
