What's new for web developers in iOS 5 Safari?

From the Apple WWDC we have lear开发者_如何学JAVAned that iOS Safari 5 has tabs, and the new Reader and Reading List functionality.

None of which is particularly informative for web developers. What are the new features relative to CSS (position fixed?), Javascript (web workers?) and DOM (gesture events?)?

• It appears we do indeed get position:fixed and also overflow:scroll, see http://functionsource.com/post/ios5-positionfixed-overlayscroll
• And also Web Workers, and various input tag enhancements. JS Speed enhancements as well: More comprehensive details here: http://davidbcalhoun.com/2011/new-mobile-safari-stuff-in-ios5-position-fixed-overflow-scroll-new-input-type-support-web-workers-ecmascript-5

• From personal, empirical experience: An iframe in iOS5 will expand so that its entire content is visible, no matter the width and height constraint given to it by the parent document. (This looks like a lazy approach to fixing the iOS4 two-fingers-needed-to-scroll-iframe-content problem.)
