 protecting blog readers from HTML5, regardless of what the actual blog

 Not sure where that understanding comes from... Can repeat the answer from
 6 months ago:

 Replying to [comment:18 MarcusPope]:
 > ...browsers error-correct the block level anchor tags...

 This can be tested pretty easy/fast: make a webpage containing
 `<a><h3>...</h3><p>...</p></a>`, then look at the internal browser
 representation of the html.

 > ...effort it takes to get any traction on improving that compliance...

 You're right, however the original problem in this ticket has been fixed.
 TinyMCE supports article, section, aside, nav, hgroup, header, footer, and
 some other HTML 5 tags now so the ticket should be closed.

 If you want to work on a patch for handling block tags inside <a> in
 wpautop, feel free to open new ticket and add the patch there.
