This will be an incremental process; Tarski contains several thousand lines of code, and big changes don't happen overnight. To nitpick slightly, the code isn't "still XHTML" (although I do understand what you're getting at)—it's valid HTML5, albeit not as semantic as I would like. My <a href="http://extralogical.net/" rel="nofollow">personal site</a> is a better demonstration of where this is going.

You are not using the following HTML 5 tags: header, hgroup, section, article, time, address, nav, aside, figure, footer. There are a few themes out there that do use the tags I just mentioned in conjunction with the DOCTYPE. I'm curious why, when to my eyes all of the layout and structure code is still XHTML, you would switch to HTML 5. Here’s what I mean, and again I’m just looking at the source for this page.

Fortunately, HTML5 is broadly compatible with XHTML-style markup, self-closing tags and so on. I made the <code>DOCTYPE</code> change in order to support new HTML5 features, in compatible browsers. There aren't too many at the moment, but I anticipate more in the future. It seems fairly likely that WordPress core will make the change at some point in the not-too-distant-future.

There were some fairly serious changes in this version, so I want to give the bugs a chance to surface. My plan is to do another round of bug fixes before releasing 2.6, so I'll address this then.
