When any new technology arrives, IT folks get feature creep and start looking for ways to implement it. Even more so with HTML5 since we've been waiting since 1998 for some new HTML tools to add to our toolbox. But, before you drink the "Kool-Aid" that the Internet is serving up about how you can and should start using HTML5 today, read this book, which can be done in a single sitting.
As a professional web developer and IT trainer for 20 years, I must admit that I never gave much thought to document outlines, but after only 50 pages of this book, it became so clear to me why I should care and why (at least right now - 2014), it makes no sense to use HTML 5's new structural sectioning elements and in fact, how using these elements will most likely break your document outline, make your page inaccessible to AT users and provide no benefit to SEO.
This book will provide you with rock solid evidence for the claims that it makes (in many cases using Ian Hickson's own public comments on HTML5 to back up these claims) and open your eyes to the dangers of using various aspects of HTML5 right now and potentially for the foreseeable future.
Be warned: this book is a lone dissenting voice in the wilderness, but it's extremely hard to read it and not come away with a different point of view than that of the masses proclaiming that we should all jump on the HTML5 bandwagon immediately.
