Tom, just go for it. You can add the modernizr or similar js to get IE to recognize the elements. But you won't appreciate the semantics of HTML5 until you ditch divs for the new tags. I speak from experience. There's a certain level of awareness you get while trying to decide the most semantic structure. Continuing to work with divs/classes will always leave you half way there.

I'm just not ready to leap into that right yet, but want to try to understand the semantics of the element and, with classes/IDs, make an analogy with my structure. My 'header' is the header for the entire page. My 'articles' have an H2 in each and can't see why I'd wrap each on in a 'header' element (or analogous one). My structure above is what I am literally using on a page. WHat I am after is an HTML5 analogy to this. Does a div.section belong in there somewhere?
