The first two have already been solved by WebGL:

The last one is capable of being run in WebGL shaders (using the GPU).

Now, I don't think HTML5 solves everything (manipulating binary data, for example) but the above are all solved by WebGL.

That hero one is sweet. Here's how many polys I could push with HTML5, still a long way to go:

Yes, and I would like to see HTML5 version of that Asteroids demo that would work in IE. I mean a nice demo, but not working in half of the browsers out there.

The first two were awful. Bland frame-rate, horrible aliasing on the textures, VERY wonky controls.

Sorry, no one would be impressed by this just because it's running inside a web browser.

I'm using Chrome on Mac OS X, Flash 10.1(built-in into Chrome)

Unity 3d seems much better than Flash 3d. :)

Six months from now. Just wait
