Safari 4 went public beta today, and its site is in HTML5. Welcome to the mainstream, <header>, <nav>, <section>, <article>, <aside> and <footer>. Apple uses the document.createElement trick to force IE to start accepting them as stylable container elements.
Moreover, I advise that the iPhone software platform must be opened.
Read that again, it was discovered at least a year ago. The createElement+ie+unknown element hack has been deployed in a number of spots, though not on too many commercial websites. It was also broken for time in the IE8 beta series but looking now I don’t see any major issues in RC1.

My fault – I still think it’s 2008 for some reason. ;) That’s been removed since this comment explains it and since the discovery date is now irrelevant.
I thought at the time I wrote that that I could swear this was more than a month ago, and I guess it was.

No problems, happens to everyone … I just know you are stickler for the details. Thanks for calling attention to this though.
