HTML 5 and CSS 3 updates for Visual Studio 2010

Microsoft today announced that have created an update for Visual Studio 2010 that allows developers better build (and test) applications that use new HTML 5 and CSS 3 features. Aptly named "Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1", the unofficial update is freely available for everyone and even supports the free Visual Studio Web Express version.

Some of the features brought by this update are the ability to support HTML 5 features such as local storage and microdata, validate your HTML and ASPX files against the latest HTML 5 schema, build CSS 3 files without the hassle of browser/vendor extensions, and more.

The release announcement is available here.
