Quote Hugo, "It will create those elements for IE6-8 (and older browsers with lack

Yes
To clarify though: the DOM will be messed up in IE without the JS
training wheels (document.createElement('header') etc) telling it that
there's these new elements. For instance, if I recall correctly, having
something like
<header>blah</header>
will make IE think that there are a "header" element and a "/header"
element, so the DOM will look something like
header
textnode
/header
where the three are siblings, rather than
header
-- textnode
where textnode is child of the header node
