Adobe pisses in the pool

From Wil, an interesting little tidbit regarding Adobe’s once promised support of the HTML 5 standard. Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen in June:

To the extent that an improved HTML standard accelerates innovation and consistent reach for web content, we’re very supportive.

Uh oh. Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch last week:

Adobe supports HTML and its evolution

This week? Adobe wants to block publication of the current specification. Why? One element in the specification would compete with Adobe’s Flash.
