-> Some of your changes are obvious, like using the new `time` and

-> puzzled by these:
-> 
-> * Removing the value="Submit" from the button on the 
->   commentmoderation form.
-> * Removing feedlink.tmpl. What?!
-> * Using a `h2` for the header of inlinepage.tmpl and page.tmpl, rather
->   than the styled span. Ikiwiki has
->   [[a_reason|todo/Option_to_make_title_an_h1?]] for not
->   using real `hN` for the header atop a page and here.
->   AFAICS, html5 does not invalidate that.
-> * Removing Editurl from inlinepage.tmpl actions. I assume 
->   this is your own preference, needs to be removed from branch
->   before I can use it.
-> * Removing the pageheader, content, and footer divs
->   which are all used by style.css.
->   Perhaps, the style sheet needs to be updated to use
->   the new elements, like the `footer` and `header`.
-> * Removal of the favicon from page.tmpl. Surely html5 supports?
-> * Removal of BASEURL from page.tmpl, apparently a mistake.
-> * Removal of the `/` between wiki title and page title.
->   Personal preference.
-> * Removal of `comments` div, which is there to be styled.
-> * Why use a `p` rather than the `div` for `addcomments`?
-> * Moving the action bar to the bottom of the page.
->   Personal preference.
-> * Clearly searchquery.tmpl has no business using bad old `center`
->   tag, but something should still be done to replace it.

 ## Time element
 
 The [time element](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-time-element) ideally needs the datatime= attribute set by a template variable with what [HTML5 defines as a valid datetime string](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/infrastructure.html#valid-global-date-and-time-string).
