The article that, I believe it was Tom, posted, explains quite specifically how 
you can code in HTML5 and current browsers will gracefully ignore the new tags. 
 I have begun coding all my sites in HTML5 and would *never* go back.

As for BBEdit -- they probably have no reason to implement something that's not 
quite yet set in stone; and to do so takes some time and thought.  In other 
words, t'll be there when it gets there.
