Fieldsets and Labels is present in HTML4 as well. Don't see anything new about 
that. Still need some extra elements to organise them. Such as lists.

  Has anyone looked up the HTML 5 pages on form elements?


  http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/


  http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#forms


  It's all fieldsets and labels... which makes more semantic sense than 
paragraphs, lists, and dd/dl

    The argument against marking up a form as a list is that a form is not a
    list. A form is one or more groups of form controls, and the fieldset
    element is the correct means by which form controls should be grouped.
    Within a fieldset, paragraph elements should be used for individual form
    controls.

    I've been looking at styling forms and I'm seeing some people mark them up
    as ordered lists and other using paragraphs.  What are the arguments for the
    different markup types.
