Since HTML5 is getting more attention by way of marking up our new pages, and the only way to get IE to acknowledge the new elements, such as <article>, is to use the HTML5 shiv, I've quickly put together a mini script that enables all the new elements.
Download html5shiv.js and must be inserted in the head element (this is because IE needs to know about the element before it comes to render them - so it can't sit in the footer of the page, i.e. below the elements in question).
I've updated this post to link to Alexander Farkas's version of the shiv - it's the very latest and my simple one line script. The one I originally released was (I thought) beautifully small, but didn't support print styles nor dynamic injection of HTML5 elements. Good thing there are smarter folk than I!
