IE8 and HTML5

Hi,

From a recent IEBlog post:

http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/12/03/compatibility-view-improvements-to-come-in-ie8.aspx

...and our start on HTML5 support.

Does this mean canvas support? Is it as a direct result of Chrome
being released and MS realising (finally) they are going to have to
remain competitive? Wouldn't that be nice?
