Comment:

 2010 will be valid HTML5, but we won't be using any HTML5-specific
 elements like <header> or <footer>. They're fantastic and I look forward
 to using them in future themes, but today, the reward for using those
 elements isn't worth the headaches caused by trying to make older browsers
 interpret them reliably.

 Remember WordPress will be getting a new default theme every year now, so
 we'll have lots of opportunities to revisit this.
