I've never heard of anyone mantaining a version of their site for IE and another for Mozilla Firefox. At most we have IE-specific CSS or Javascript code to work around certain bugs of IE6 and IE7... but that's hardly worth of being called "another version" of the site... more like a patch.
For a site of more than minimum complexity you need a solid code base... and having two different versions of the site goes completely against that purpose. That's why, for any development worth its salt, I don't expect we'll have a Flash and an HTML5 version... more likely there'll be a Flash version, which works almost everywhere (except for iPhones and iPads... but that's not for the sake of supporting HTML5 as a new vibrant standard). Use of HTML5 will probably grow as slowly as any other technology which is not widely supported, as easy and fun to use as it may be.
What may actually happen is that some flash players and libraries might include code that transparently uses HTML5 when available. Like this:
