I explored the html5boilerplate quite a bit, but decided to come up my own 
template instead.

To its credit, it has some really nice stuff in there and I have adapted to my 
template too, but there are a number of elements that I found that really 
shouldn't be in there.

 If you are using the template, you may want to get rid of these two:

body { font:13px sans-serif; *font-size:small; *font:x-small; line-height:1.22; 
}

This one likely will get Felix Miata all heat up :-)

Apart from this, no typeface declared and default to sans or sans serif is not 
a good approach. I have in a few occasions found it resulted very bad rendering 
in IE from XP and Windows 7 via Parallel Desktop, however I have not run a 
thorough test whether it's a combinations of @fontface declaration (with 
font-wight:normal for headings) and Windows system in Parallel Desktop.



html { -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; }

This is best used only if a site has a darken background. For site that has 
light or white background, it gives a false impression that the text is blur. I 
get many feedbacks from clients that their customers complaint about the text 
not 'clear' in Chrome browser (and Safari too - but no PC user uses Safari I 
presume :-) ).
