It looks like pretty much everything is backwards compatible and will degrade nicely, so we’re going to be reworking our markup to make use of a bunch of the additional semantic elements.

The most useful thing so far is having a valid way of stashing information in the DOM so it is available to client-side script via the data- attributes. An example would be storing an attribute like data-zoomimageurl=”http://blah” for use by an image zoom plugin.

Anyway, I’m off to shoot my friends now.
