One nitpick against that comes readily to mind: we've already had people griping fairly recently that they can't just use markdown (or the like) to format posts and that the (relatively limited) PM HTML dialect required now is "just too hard" for noobs. I'm not thinking that they're going to be willing (to say nothing of able . . . *cough*) to correctly use even more specific use case HTML5-new-shinyness.
That aside though I'd probably agree in principle that were changes to the markup to be added this would be a reasonable bit of HTML5 to allow.
The cake is a lie.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
