Check out slides and demonstration as well. 
Note from Bruce Lawson:
"In my speech, I incorrectly said that Adobe objected to Theora as a video codec. This is incorrect. Nokia objected as did Apple. To my knowledge, Adobe have expressed no opinion."

- In the first minute when describing "open" and "propriety stuff" you should differentiate standards and source code. It's a lot of confusion out there...
- Presentation at the 10th minute shows lang="en" and charset=utf-8. Are quotes inconsistency in HTML5?

- you're right. I was in the keynote room and nervous.
- inconsistency is fine. (But I've cleared up slides for clarity's sake.)
Please, everyone note my correction: in my speech, I incorrectly said that Adobe objected to Theora as a video codec. This is incorrect. To my knowledge, Adobe have expressed no opinion.
(Adobe haven't been on my case, but I wanted to clarify as there is enough FUD out there already about HTML 5 video!)

Personal preferences and dislikes should not be part of web standards. Barners-Lee save us from another era of "everybody do what you want"!

the inconsistency in my quoting attributes isn't great coding practice (so I've corrected it in the slides) but either is entirely legitimate html 5. See my article http://html5doctor.com/html-5-xml-xhtml-5/

That is the problem.
Actually, I had a shiver run down my spine when I heard you say "Because that's what people do" (6:25).
You're right, but that's no good thing. It's not a good thing 17% of developers use quotes, 39% use double quotes and 44% don't use any at all.
Rules and standards should never ever be based on "what people do". People steal things - no reason to change the law and allow theft. In the 90ies people used to code HTML pages the way they wanted, omitting whatever stuff they wanted to let out or didnt know even existed (<head> tag anyone?). I wouldn't want to allow that in HTML 5 just because people do or did that, would you?
"Whatever you want, whatever you like." This sounds like the slogan of some nifty web 2.0 community but no set of rules.
I am very afraid HTML 5 will take us back to bad old days.
