SemPress

A WordPress theme, highly semantic, HTML5 templates, responsive and seo optimized. SemPress supports most of the new HTML5 tags, the new HTML5 input-types, microformats, microformats v2 and microdata (Schema.org).

POSH - Plain old Semantic HTML

From the micrormats wiki:

The term semantic-html is a mouthful, and belies both how simple it is, how well established it is among modern web designers, and the fact that it has benefits far beyond the obvious doing the right thing for the Web by using semantic markup. We need a simple short mnemonic term that captures the essence of the concept, and is easily verbed (to posh, poshify, poshed up).

SemPress is fully HTML5 compatible and uses a lot of the new tags, semantics and input-types.
