Standing on the foreheads of giants (namely Paul Irish and Divya Manian and the good folks that have helped them create and continue the growth of HTML5 Boilerplate, I present to you my first WordPress plug-in, HTML5 Boilerplate. As a spin-off of my Boilerplate - Starkers WP Theme, this plug-in can be added to any theme, new, pre-existing, already customized, whatevs!

The clumsiest part of this plug-in is dealing with the CSS files. To avoid any changes you make from being overwritten during upgrades, "starter" files have been created in the plug-in's css directory. I recommend copying the contents of the starter files into new files that you can safely edit. That way, if the starter files are updated later, you can simply copy/paste from them into your files again, and all is fine.

Another route would be to add @import statements at the top of your file, but this does increase your HTTP Requests, which hurts performance... Your call, let me know if you can think of a better implementation.)

Cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the screenshots work in the readme.txt, so here are the links...

I also built a Boilerplate theme based on Elliot Jay Stocks' Starkers Theme that can be found at: http://aarontgrogg.com/boilerplate/
