The way the article was written implied to me that it was HTML5 elements 
with a google javascript library driving them (like "Yahoo widgets" or 
jQuery are on top of standard features). I thought the plug-in was just 
because HTML5 hasn't actually been implemented yet.

Certainly the canvas element is pretty scary. But I guess less scary than 
continuing to pretend that HTML is for hypertext mark-up rather than 
pixel-perfect interactive application construction. :-)
