**Description:**
article, aside, figcaption, figure, footer, header, main, mark, nav, picture, progress, section, time
Many of these tags are a natural compliment or enhancement to the structure of Wikipedia's and Wiktionaries. Levels of support:
* Whitelist, to allow use in wikitext.
* Enable for non-supporting browsers (Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8).
* Add HTML5 elements to wikitext rendering.
* Incorporate HTML5 elements into Vector skin.
There's already some support in Mozilla 3.6 and Safari 5. An enabling script is required for IE 6-8 to enable applying CSS styles to these elements.
