In HTML5, web SQL databases are used to store data temporarily. Previously, only the browser cache was used.
Some elements have been removed – applet, isindex, noframes, acronym, dir, font, frame, frameset, and big are removed.
New elements have been added – time, summary, aside, audio, command, and data.

HTML5 supports SVG, canvas, and other virtual vector graphics. In HTML, vector graphics can only be used with Flash, VML (Vector Markup Language), or Silverlight.
HTML5 allows JavaScript to run within a web browser. The previous version allowed JavaScript to run in the browser interface thread.
HTML5 is not based on SGML. It comes with enhanced parsing rules for improved compatibility.
