for my report I need to detail the tools considered. Does this little bit make sense?

#3.1 Tools Considered

Below are the development tools and languages which shall be considered for the development

###HTML4

HTML4 is no longer supported by all major browsers, except for limited backwards compatibility, it has been superseded almost entirely by the newer version of HTML.

Sound is not handled particularly well by HTML4, requiring either Flash or Direct Download rather than buffering of sound.

###HTML5

HTML5 is the widely-accepted standard for HTML Web Development. HTML5 is built upon the concept of a Semantic Web, one which conveys meaning inherently through the naming of elements in the Document Object Model(DOM), this also introduces some APIs which were lacking or existing but slow or clunky in HTML4.

The Web Audio API and the Audio HTML element require HTML5 and one of these is likely to be a core part of this project.
