Good article. You got me started on HTML 5 conversion of my theme. It took me a while to do it. The base structure is similar to yours. The sad part is that while the HTML validates 100%, to make it work in all browsers I still need to use a lot of IE6 hacks, and this turns into invalid CSS. Anyway, if you are interested here is my Wordpress HTML 5 experience: adopting my blog to 5 part 2 the structure

You might want to note that the correct syntax for the doctype doesn’t include a ‘“‘. The one you have now actually triggers quirks mode in at least Firefox and Opera.

Great post. I’ve been working on porting a site to HTML5 in the past few weeks and have found it a fun challenge. I hadn’t even thought about including headers and footers within other elements. Seems like an interesting approach, where it makes sense.
