very nice ,, specially the <header> tag and <audio><video> tag. I hope IE9 launches soon with HTML5 support.

Yeah, the problem is getting all the other browser types to support it as well. And then there is older browsers which won't support it, so you will have to have multiple versions of your code for everyone to be able to see things correctly. It will be a mess!

Does that < d f n >] term get you into Google definitions? What is the purpose of this tag? .

No, it defines a definition on the current HTML page, not any search engines. The search engines may however pick them up as keywords depending on their algorithm.

I have experianced the html 5 in a project i recently did. It is in short the strict form of xhtml . The only thing i did not like when working with html 5 is that the width attribute is not allowed in tables. i mean to define width for td or table you have to make a css class.
it was good experience thou. (ticketnest.net)

Thanks for sharing that list. It will be very useful when most of the brwosers support HTML5. Until then, I suppose it's good enough for us, the programmers, to learn it.
