this is really a great news. The HTML 5 draft introduce a bunch of new elements and attributes to existing elements.
The HTML 5 will make the web pages more sensible and the data can be properly categorized as header, content or side bar using the newer elements like <header></header>, <section></section> & <aside></aside> |

Looks intresting. But couldn't you already do all that with a <div> tag? |

According to this link http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-diff-20...2/#new-elements , the header, Footer, etc tags will be used for structuring a page. Might be useful. Perhaps avoid problems with floats and div placement. header would always be at the top of the page, Footers always at the bottom.

How fast can we actually expect HTML 5.0 to kick in?
I don't think it will be anytime soon, probably a few years down the road. And even so, what is the percentage of websites adhering to it? Browsers have to do lots of work too. FireFox 3 is highly unlikely to be able to support HTML 5.0, it isn't even officially released by W3C yet. Our best bet could be IE8 but I don't know about any plans regading FireFox, Safari and Opera |

Found another reference to HTML5 on the W3schools site: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/html5.asp
Lists of the elements/attributes/etc that are new to html5 and also the 'not supported' tags are also listed. Interesting to note the DOM Events that will be added to HTML5, like 'contenteditable'. Interesting stuff. A blending of javascript and xhtml into a web page. Maybe I'll start learning javascript or Ajax next... likely be handy in HTML5. |

Hmm, this is pretty interesting stuff. I just glanced at the draft relatively quckly, but from what I can tell, if you are already using CSS, alot of this won't have a negative effect. The biggest effect of this will be to those that insist on not learning CSS and doing everything in HTML. XD
