If you found this blog post a bit abrupt, you might want to look at Mark Pilgrim's take on HTML5's semantic elements.

Great that it's possible to starting using it now but would doing so improve or hurt SEO? Anyone know if search engines are setup to parse this data better?
I serve on W3C's HTML5 Working Group. This certainly would help search engines along the road. I wouldn't think this would hurt SEO in any way, may actually end up helping. I am not too involved with SEO stuff, but I can help with other stuff you might be interested in with focus to HTML5.

So do headers go before or inside sections? Or both?
The article also fails to mention that <header> is completely different from the way most of us use the #header ID in documents — <header> can be used over and over in HTML5 so the meaning is different than a lot of people would assume.
I know the example makes it less ambiguous, but come on.
