I’m working on a new project, it is a wordpress theme with advanced functionality. I can’t think of any reason to start using html5 but a personal curiosity.
Is it too early?
There was an extensive browser test in 2009 which found that HTML5 semantic tags work in very nearly all browsers.
Martin Beeby has also written an article on whether adopting HTML5 is right for you.
In essence, most advice points towards using HTML5 (bearing in mind the first draft just documents what browsers already do) but not relying entirely on some of the emerging bits until they are stable. It isn’t a black-and-white decision, but that’s why people rely on Internet professionals to help them to decide.
