"However, by the time HTML5 is released it's a certainty that the new tags will enhance the search engines' understanding of page content."

This is exactly the point -- these HTML5 tags are being used in production today without people realizing that search engines may not being using the new document outline model since it's a moving spec.

The conclusion is to avoid using these new semantics until they are further developed to avoid an unexpected document outline.

hm...there are no ads on the site, disqus?

I completely hope that it's the case, and as I mention at the end of the article that could be the case.

Since HTML5 is still a moving spec, it's worth considering how you structure your header tags depending on how much belief you have that this is what search engines are actually doing, given how important the document outline is to SEO.

H2 would be best in a traditional HTML4 docuement, but in HTML5 each sectioning element has it's own document outline. The reason for this is to encourage you to use H1's for the most important content within each section.

In this case the most important content of the <article> section is the title, so an H1 would be best used here.

The point of this post is to show that by using this new guideline, it leads to problems if search engines are using the old HTML document outline.

This is true. A possible solution is if the service was run in EC2, you could leverage the speed on the amazon network if the data was already stores in S3.

It seems clear that this was a negotiation point for AT&T to create artificial lock-in on the 3G service, in return they were willing to go month-to-month.

Even if you were able to tether the iPad to the iPhone, AT&T will chart a similar monthly fee. It will be interesting to see if Apple is willing to create separate models to work on CDMA, etc.

Does anyone know the average meal price in Japan?

"set off the price war by cutting the price of its standard beef bowl to 320 yen, or $3.55"

In the US fast food restaurants all include a "99c" menu. You can get burger, fries and soda for $3. Seems like $3.55 isn't a shocking amount for a leading fast food chain.

Certainly the margins on a beef bowl are different than a burger and fries, but it struck me that these amounts aren't as low as I expected give that it's becoming national news in Japan.

7 months old, but still good.
