Looking only at
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/ that is an easily reached
conclusion. However on a more in depth study of all the following
http://www.w3.org/TR/
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/CR/
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/
http://html.spec.whatwg.org/
one might reach a different conclusion, particularly after reading ...master/
(HTML5.1), and then the following:
"Work on evolutions of this specification proceeds at
http://www.w3.org/TR/html/. The HTML5 Recommendation represents a milestone
in the development of HTML but far from being the end of the road and
improvements are already well under way."
http://www.w3.org/TR/html/
One conclusion might be that not only is HTML5 not complete, but also that it
may never be complete.
Of course it will continue evolving, everything is evolving, that's
why we got 3 then 4 then 5, maybe the standard recommendation rate
will be higher (because of minor versions to fix or evolve the major
version)
As others pointed previously, there is almost no development upstream
for Konqueror and Rekonq, compare this to Firefox.
Web browsers should support the latest HTML standard, this is the
purpose of a web browser.
If a browser is slower than the competition, doesn't support
extensions, and doesn't support latest HTML standards, being a KDE
project doesn't make it the best browser.
I think the least we can do is to ship Firefox, even if Konqueror
stays the default (which I think very bad default)

P.S. I tried opening Youtube in Konqueror and the video did not play,
how do you use Youtube? Flash?
