I thought this was "hacker" news?

HTML5, which is actually just "HTML" since it will be a living standard from now on, is comprised of:

- new browser APIs (canvas, storage, geo, etc etc)

- standardized markup error handling (consistent behaviour for tag soup)

- new elements

There is no word of CSS3 in any official HTML5 document, and it will remain like that since CSS is a separate standard.

You are, of course, right.

Still, odds are that when someone says HTML5 they are also refering to CSS3. Words aren't neat and just because they have been defined that way doesn't mean they stay defined that way. To fight that at this point is just plain ridiculous.
