Irony: HTML5 Boilerplate site does not use HTML5 Boilerplate or HTML5 in general. (nav, header, footer, etc...)

The point of HTML5 is semantically better elements. div#header is not the preferable HTML5 element. Neither is div#footer.
html5boilerplate.com should be dog fooding. It's not.
Also, if you take a look at h5bp you'll notice <header> and <footer> elements in index.html
