HTML5 or more precisely the combination of current Web technologies can almost 
certainly deliver on all those points.

The main problem is, as far as I know, that traditional vendors for authoring 
tools (e.g. Adobe) have long ignored that platform in order to boost their own 
proprietary system for rich, interactive content (in Adobe's case Flash).

So the only people currently making heavy use of those capabiltiies are 
developers. Basically all devices allow applications to be written using those 
technologies, some are even advertising them as their main API (Tizen, WebOS, 
Mozilla's Boot2Gecko, etc.).

I guess it would be necessary to evaluate whether recent shifts in 
technologies (e.g. the slow death of Flash) has improved (or will improve in 
the near future) the situation for content authors who are not developers.

Cheers,
Kevin
