Which reminds me: I've been seeing more and  more  glowing  prase  of
HTML5,  but  not  surprisingly,  when  I've  tried  digging  into the
details, I find a bit of a  confused  mess  of  documentation.   Does
anyone know of a good introductory HTML5 doc, tutorial, or whatever?

With all this praise, someone has to be working  on  teaching  us  to
produce this new, improved HTML ...
