I support using html 5 new features, but I don't like the idea of starting to strip tags "just because we can". Currently MediaWiki does quite a good work on it. I don't see a reason to start removing tags. Yes, allegdely there's an space improvement but still...
It's something to consider. It will improve not only space, but also readability. Here's the doctype and <head> for http://aryeh.name/, in valid HTML 5:
<!doctype html>
<link rel=stylesheet href=/css/main.css> <title>Risen from Prey ✡ מטרף עלה</title> <!--[if IE]><script src=/html5ie.js></script><![endif]-->
I find it too flat, beheaded, unstructured... It may be a sympton of too much html engineering but I wonder if others feel the same.
Perhaps we should also look into alternative solutions like SDCH.
SDCH is not going to be usable anytime in the foreseeable future, AFAICT.
AFAIK it's implemented on Chrome and IE with Gears extension.
