Why not just use HTML5 with extensions as the interface, rather than imitating it with QML, a canvas that "Supports most of the HTML5 context2d APIs", Javascript support, etc.?
After all, HTML is the only UI API that enjoys universal support, and will continue to be in use with full backward compatibility forever.

HTML is a bit of a joke precisely because approximately nothing enjoys universal support. If a new feature is introduced, if you are lucky a decade later you might be able to rely on it. Until then, you more likely will have to write custom code for three or more major mutually incompatible implementations.

Yeah. Hard to avoid that when there's several completely independent implementations though. It's not as if (say) all SQL-servers are 100% compatible drop-in-replacements for eachother either. (particularly not if you use the "new and exciting" stuff)
