Thanks for the kind words Steve! You hit the nail on the head, and I just wanted to add a few of points.
Joomla's module chrome (http://docs.joomla.org/Module_chrome) can be overridden, or you can even add your own. We've created an HTML5 module chrome for Construct5, which you can see at https://github.com/construct-framework/construct5/blob/master/html/modules.php. That module chrome, and all of the HTML5 overrides used in Construct5, can also be downloaded at either https://github.com/construct-framework/construct5/tags. Seth's very excellent One Web uses bits and pieces from HTML5 Boilerplate and Andy Clarke's 320 and Up ( http://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/projects/320andup/). Seth actually just pushed a new version of One Web last night, and you can see it live at http://joomlafuture.com/. Most HTML5 templates come with a full, or at least fairly comprehensive, set of overrides. So, you don't need to worry about changing com_content or other core components or modules. Along these lines, Joomla 3.0 will be using Bootstrap ( http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) for the core markup, and as such, will be HTML5. Enjoy!
