Back when we were putting together the html5 stuff, I think we agreed to
table the issue of deeper html5 tag use until we'd had a bit of think
about the current default behavior of org's html output. Not that I
don't think this patch should be accepted -- it's definitely the least
controversial of the html5 tags.

At the time I think I was thinking that the html org produces by default
seemed very much predicated on the creation of unix-y style
documentation pages: the prev/next/up links, the preamble and postamble,
etc. That seemed strange to me, as my assumption was that most people
are not going to be producing that kind of html page. In retrospect that
doesn't seem like such a big deal -- it's so easy to turn off, and
there's always the body-only switch.

So maybe it would just be enough to patch html5 further so that the
preamble and postamble use <header> and <footer> tags? The behavior of
`org-html-divs' would have to be reconsidered, but it shouldn't have to
be anything too momentous...
