 I see some HTML5 partly flowing into 2010 (example: r13565) but I also see
 some of the recommendations for HTML5 not in it.

 I have no background information about the state of that theme regarding
 the decision for or against a specific HTML version. So I need to ask:

 Is this little HTML5 in there to actually camouflage the theme being HTML5
 or is it in as a statement to actually make use of it? Just curious.

 A very speaking example is the {{{<div id="header">}}} / {{{<header>}}}
 demo in this [http://diveintohtml5.org/semantics.html article] which
 actually provides a [http://diveintohtml5.org/examples/blog-html5.html
 html5 blog mockup sample page] which seems ideally convenient as a pattern
 for something like a wordpress theme.

 Are there any plans to adopt HTML5 for the theme? Looks like many new HTML
 elements are available for semantic web publishing WP could make use of.
