* if people think HTML5 is the (only or most) cutting-edge and innovative technology, that's not correct. Absolutely not.*
I don't think anyone could argue that - the web is a messy consensus, and definitely doesn't include cutting edge, innovative tech (except perhaps server-side if you want). That's not its strong point but I think the other points in its favour do make up for it.
Re WebGL, I suspect if we see killer app(s) come out using it, penetration will spread quickly and it will be kept up to date by browser makers. At present it's a bit of a chicken and egg situation.
