Well, I did a Save Archive on one of my English sites and switched it from HTML4 to HTML5. Here’s my preliminary report.
PROBLEM#1
As I thought, one of the first Actions that broke was one of Walter’s (I use a lot of his Actions). Specifically, the CSS3 Text Shadow Action does not work on HTML5 pages for some reason:

PROBLEM#2
I deleted that Action and retried Publish. The next Action that broke was Paul Dunning’s Caxton Action:
http://actionsforge.com/actions/caxton
It generates a crazy error that says:
“Too many font files.”
Funny because I only use Caxton to manage up to 2 web fonts on any given page.
Anyway, OKing that dialog allows the Publish to proceed, but I get the error dialog on every single page where Caxton is used, which is a lot. Sheesh!
PROBLEM#3
Relative Page Layout Action (version 1.3.15). I am seeing some single pixel shifting of my CSS Menus, which I am not sure how to fix. I’ll need to investigate this further.
PROBLEM#4
Inline STYLES are used whenever a Table is used on the page. Here’s what I see at the top of the BODY tag in the HTML output of the top page in my site:
<body>
<form action="//visionsecurity.jp/en/search_results.html" method=get>
<div id="PageDiv">
<table style="border-spacing:0px; width:248px; table-layout:fixed">
<colgroup><col style="width:248px"></colgroup>
<tr style="vertical-align:top">
<td style="width:248px; height:927px"></td></tr>
<tr style="vertical-align:top">
<td style="width:248px; height:22px"></td></tr></table>I still need to go through each and every page in my big site and also test HTML5 on my other sites, including my Japanese sites, but this is my report for now.
