You mean like Hacker news? Because, I don't think this site leverages HTML 5.

The hard part of any design is knowing what features can be removed not added. HTML 5 and JavaScript is fluff for most websites.

PS: HN even uses <table id="hnmain"... o the horror.

Yeah but HN can be progressively enhanced and it's also one of the few exceptions to the rule.

    <table id="hnmain"..
Indeed.

Worth noting the small eco-system of HN redesigns which all leverage HTML5+JS in some way :)

All sites should be like an electric stairs: the stairs still works when the power is cut off, but to the inconvenience of the users.
