switch to http://dev.w3.org/html5/rdfa/ once it becomes a recommendation? XHTML only poses a bunch of silly restrictions without any upside to it anyway

Drupal core 7 output XHTML+RDFa via html.tpl.php, page.tpl.php etc. If Zen wants to support HTML5, it'll have to overrides all these core tpl and theme functions. Hopefully Drupal 7 will be released by the time HTML5 becomes a W3C Rec :)

just changing the DTD would already be a lovely step forward, which can be done by overriding but 1 tpl.php
we don't necessarily need to support <section>, <aside, ... right away, baby steps...

I currently already do this for D6, even when using zen, I override the page.tpl.php just to get a HTML5 DTD (so I can use target on links and stuff)

I'm committing this as its inline with how core's page.tpl.php works now.

Can't wait for HTML5+RDFa.
