Re: [WSG] CSS support of HTML5 tags not ready yet?

I explored the html5boilerplate quite a bit, but decided to come up my own template instead. To its credit, it has some really nice stuff in there and I have adapted to my template too, but there are a number of elements that I found that really shouldn't be in there. If you are using the tem
