As a developer I'm certainly looking forward to the new tags: nav, header, footer etc - it's gotta be a whole lot easier than the (soon to be) "old school" div classes we have been using. I'm also pretty amped about CSS3. There's a whole raft of display issus that are only currently solvable using Javascript (love my jQuery) that will be much easier to implement once CSS3 is mainstream. We've definitely come a LONG LONG way since the dark old days of HTML when tables were king! So why do I say "looking forward to"? Well there's certain browsers out there *cough*IE*cough* who still don't really play the game as well as their counterparts... YET! C'mon Microsoft - you're holding us back!!
