HTML 5 & Semantics?

I was surfing the web today and I came across the HTML 5 gallery and it totally psyched me up to review some of the live sites built off the new (unfinished/supported) HTML 5 specifications that are showcased there. After I killed some time reviewing the source code on a lot of the sites in their gallery it seemed to me that the < header > tag is being slightly abused? Shouldn’t a document only have 1 < header > tag in order to get invited to the semantic playground (one site had over 12 < header > tag references)?

What do you think?

questions comments and or concerns

A ton of you have emailed me regarding the Engines of Creation.com Podcast. Yes, it is still in production and no it is NOT cancelled just postponed for a bit. Why postponed? Well, a couple of reasons actually. One we are flooded with new work/clients and two we are releasing a new episode with the launch of our new website and want the two to coincide (Damn Marketing People ). I have been working feverishly hence my slow response to some of your email questions, comments and or general chit chat.

Rest assured I will get back to everyone, eventually.
