I think there are potential uses for these tags within wikis: <kbd> is used for
keyboard text and could for example be used for [[Template:Key press]] on the
English language Wikipedia. <samp> could be useful for formatting the software
text given by other software, for example in manual pages. The usages stated at
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-semantics.html#the-samp-element and
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-semantics.html#the-kbd-element are more
than valid usages of this in a wiki. The <q> element's usages are more than
fulfilled, and since the <blockquote> tag is already allowed anyway, why not
also allowing this? It should be the wikis' own decision if they want to use it
despite the IE problems.

The <address> seems really rather pointless and since <acronym> is deprecated,
they shouldn't be added, but the rest is acceptable IMHO.
