CWmike writes "Mozilla and Opera are mocking browser rival Microsoft's use of the term 'native HTML5' to depict cyberspace Explorer 9 and the in-development IE10 as an oxymoron, an attempt to hijack an open touchstone and a traffic ploy. On Tuesday, Microsoft's Dean Hachamovitch, the administrator who runs the IE group, used the term several times during a keynote at MIX, the company's annual Web developers conference, and in an look after post on the IE blog. Hachamovitch claimed in his keynote that, 'The only native know of the Web of HTML5 today is on Windows 7 with IE9.' Asa Dotzler, Mozilla's overseer of public development, replied mockingly in Bugzilla: 'I'm pretty sure Firefox 5 has "complete native HTML5" support. We should resolve this as fixed and be sure to let the world know we beat Microsoft to shipping *complete* native HTML5.'"
