FW6 separates more of the CSS layout and styles from the content (if using external style sheets), I presume this might give a marginal boost to SEO?
From what I’ve read using the new FW section elements (or semantic elements) and HTML5 (as oppose to HTML4) won’t effect search rankings. Is HTML5 Good for SEO?
Sometimes the benefits of new things aren’t readily apparent, especially
when viewed aggressively from a single perspective. I might counter that
HTML5 semantic structures don’t hurt SEO either. Then one day when we all
discover there is more to web design than SEO, we will be amazed that we
already have the tools to deal with it.

Well, I don’t thing that kind of structural development has anything to do
with SEO… I think it’s a matter of better control and practices for web
development. If you are solely focused on SEO practices, then content
development should be your main focus. Structural presentation - as I am
sure that you know - has only the affect on search-engine visibility
and content order.
Where I think developers need to be concerned with those practical
applications of semantics (HTML5 or otherwise) is how the growing number of
web apps integrate with their sites to find and present content. Who is
organizing that shit?

Hi Ernie
Any thoughts on whether FW6 separating out more of the CSS from the
content (in external style sheets) boosts SEO?
