Using HTML5 tags in IE _will_ break it at some point. There is ofcourse the
work around with "document.createElement('article')" etc used by modernizr
But:1. This will not work for IEs' that have JS disabled 2. Will break if you insert HTML5 tags by javascript into the "innerHTML" attribute of tags (even those that were created with the workaround above). Point 2 hit mit just a few weeks ago and is even valid for IE 8. The problem is that even jQuery is using the innerHTML attribute in it's .append() method and others which are very common to must jQuery users. To be honest, there is a workaround for this as well. But it requires either patching jQuery or to change ALL YOUR CODE that uses .innerHTML (including all your uses of jQuery.fn.append()). [1] Input types are not effected by this bug afaik.
