Comment (by solarissmoke):

 Javascript DOM manipulation in IE<8 is a disaster when you use these new
 HTML5 elements - basic things like `innerHTML` calls and
 `getElementsByTagName` don't work properly because it doesn't recognise
 the new elements as valid - and for that reason I don't think core is
 ready for these new elements.

 Suggest wontfix/maybelater - at least until IE loses majority market share
 ;)
