This just links to the root of the blog for some reason. The article is here:

I'm not sure if it's possible to change the URL now, but if so, it would be a good idea. The article is the first item in the blog now, but that will of course change quickly.

I can see the point of using the video tag, because you can achieve better compatibility (iPhone!) and a smother experience (no Flash player crashes with native video support). But I don't see the real benefit of using the tags that only provide more "semantic" value, like section, header, aside, nav, etc. The code clarity you get from it offset by the cludges described in the article that you have to use to ensure compatibility (FF2, IE6 and 7, etc).

You know those sites that have top-ten stuff, or lists of images or sections of content that sometimes we just want to go one after the other without having to scroll exactly to the next one? (smashing magazine comes to mind)

Well, wouldn't it be good if modern browsers could skip to the next section with the press of the spacebar instead of having to scroll manually?

Like adding an attribute to the new <section scroll="stop|flow"> tag in html5
