I like the Date field in IE 10 as compared to other browsers like Chrome or Opera. Maybe, we do not require the jQuery datepicker anymore.

With the new validation inbuilt into HTML5, how will ASP.NET validation controls look like. Probably, the code emitted by ASP.NET validation controls will be lot simpler if it is HTML5 compliant browser.

I wonder how long it will be before the other browsers add something similar.

I would imagine validation for lots of things will be easier in HTML5 with the added semantics that are available.

Things of this nature within HTML 5 make obvious the pattern of the industry in adopting the "convention over configuration" approach to re-solving the same problems. Thank goodness we've evolving!
