HTML5 in WordPress themes

Hi,

At first my themes did not support the article tag and because of that the comments did not list properly in older browsers.

So I added this in my functions file:

function themename_html5() {
	echo '<!--[if lt IE 9]>'. "\n";
	echo '<script src="' . esc_url( get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/ie.js' ) . '"></script>'. "\n";
	echo '<![endif]-->'. "\n";
	}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'themename_html5' );

And added this in the ie.js file:

document.createElement('article');

And now comments do list properly in older browsers.

I would like to have a list, so I don’t forget tags.

That’s what I mean.

Edit: I guess this (function themename_html5 and file ie.js) is not necessary, when I style all those html5 tags in my css file?

Maybe a stupid question, do I really need your or my script for html5 support in older browsers? Or is adding styling of these tags in my stylesheet sufficient?
