-However as an [early adopter](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_adopter) I would like to start using HTML5 as much as possible. The more pragmatic solution would be to use elements supported by the browsers of your readership I guess. I'm following other early adopters like [Anne](http://annevankesteren.nl/) for clues on how to proceed.

+# HTML5 Validation and t/html.t
-I'm unsure how to turn off the test validation by the very old [wdg-html-validator](http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/wdg-html-validator.html). So I have been unable to test my initial patches as I can't build ikiwiki. I would like to know how to edit the rules/Makefile to temporarily disable this.
+[validator.nu](http://validator.nu/) is the authorative HTML5 validator,
+however it is almost impossible to sanely introduce as a build dependency
+because of its insane Java requirements. :( I test locally via
+[cURL](http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/IDE), though Debian packages cannot be built
+with a network dependency.

+In the future, hopefully ikiwiki can test for valid HTML5 using [Relax NG

+[rnv](http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/rnv.html).

+## 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 with iso8601 time
-* I suspect the migration to the new semantic elements of HTML5 like article, header & footer to take some time, due to browser support. Though they sure make the template code look much nicer.
-* `
