Here's one area where Adobe can really innovate in standards-compliant animation tools: Automate preloading.
Every "look at this doodad made in HTML 5!" demo I've seen betrays its technology in the loading. Bits appear here and there, images load one by one; no matter how solid the execution may be, it feels brittle watching it load in, unlike a Flash app that loads first, then executes.
There's no reason Adobe can't build in a simple loading spinner that hides the DOM construction as a piece of dynamic markup loads. It would go a long way toward making the content that Edge generates feel robust.
