If you publish for iPhone or iPad only through dedicated sites it's another thing of course, I'm talking about web html only.
The video issue has nothing to do with html5 but with the different companies all trying to do their own thing as opposed to coming up with a true standard. If you are using flash with H.264 (mp4), then you can do html5 right now with a flash fallback and you'll be just as compatible as you are now.
