 Currently, wp_list_comments supports ol, ul, and div as "styles" of
 nesting for threaded comments. While HTML5 is new enough that good markup
 practices are not entirely settled, the closest thing I've seen to a
 consensus is nested article elements.

 This is currently not possible (except perhaps through a callback). Making
 it work right would also require inserting the comment classes as part of
 wp_list_comments' operation, which might require another parameter to turn
 it on.

 I'm sure there are other WP functions that could use expanding to
 accommodate good HTML5 markup, but this is what jumped out at me.
