HTML5 Logo Animated…in Flash

A friend of mine put together this animation of the new HTML5 logo animated — with irony — in Flash. It got a lot of chuckles on Twitter so I thought I'd post it here for good measure. See the animation here.

Thinking more about this logo, I've become increasingly perplexed about why the W3C and its designers, Ocupop, decided to make the "HTML" and the "5" two distinct elements, rather than joining them together. To date, the HTML5 spec has gone through reasonably significant pains to make it clear that the proper style for citing it is as a single unit, sans space. It's "HTML5," not "HTML 5," right? Am I missing something? (I'll admit, I'm not as fascinated by the narrative around these specifications as a lot of designers are.) Anyway, if that singularity is what they're going for, it seems like a error in judgment to design a logo that doesn't acknowledge that.
