 As far as I know autoplay=false
 also means enable autoplay in firefox.
 
 I wish somebody contact them to correct those and other errors.

Please do so! :-)

I encourage you to contact this site as well as any others and point out 
any mistakes you see. I think it's great that tutorials are starting to 
appear; though as you point out, it would be nice if they were correct.

[whatwg] In correct HTML 5 tutorials

http://www.w3schools.com/ is a very popular tutorial site.

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/html5.asp

Otherwise people start using autoplay=false to disable autoplay.
and some vendors will start supporting that.
while others will go by w3 standards

Which in turn will bring trouble to user who surf the site
using a browser which is not the one used by the web developer.

Yes, that is annoying. It's always at the top of the search result.
w3schools has no relationship with the w3c. It is not the most
reliable source of information.

 They have already started tutorials for HTML5

[snip links]

Starting tutorials for a working draft in progress sounds like a bad idea.

 I wish somebody contact them to correct those and other errors.


With advertisement bringing in money, it seems that SEO might take
priority over properly educating web developers.

The fact that the comp.lang.javascript FAQ links to it doesn't help.
