Looking through Sitepoints HTML5 cheat sheet and I’m confused.
After spending the past 6 years working with XHTML, its strange that HTML5 supports some previously depreciated tags like <b> <i> and a couple of others. What I suspect to happen is that in the intermediate stage, that ‘tag-soup’ style development happens (again) and that to retain support for IE6 etc, HTML5 tags will be implimented in a non-structural way.
I will be working on a few HTML5 sample WordPress themes (to be released free) for anyone that wants them as a way of geting to grips with the intricasies of the new HTML5 format.
It’s still a shame that we’re inhibited from working in CSS2 (let alone v3) as retaining backwards compatability is still a maxim of development work.
