@Katherine - It's really not that fair to compare HTML5 and ASP.NET/Phalanger. HTML5 (and JavaScript and CSS3) are all client side technologies. These pieces combine in the browser to provide a user experience but at some stage it seems likely that this experience will need to get data or perform some kind of action on the users behalf and at that point a server-side technology like ASP.NET/PHP/Node.js (or any of a million other choices) is going to be required. ASP.NET (WebForms or MVC) is about abstracting away HTTP. A request comes to the server and a response is sent back. You can have your MVC View (or your WebForms page) render perfectly valid HTML5 and produce the same user experience. You probably could serve up the HTML as just plain HTML documents and satisfy the request/response parts of the app with WebApi (or ServiceStack or node.js or anything else). In fact, from a caching perspective that can be a good idea :)
