When I checked the code on W3.org, it gives out an impressive amount of errors of obsolete code and how can that be if you are selling netobjects as html 5 capabale. This serves no useful purpose for SEO as you are using an outdated coding method that has nothing to do with html5. Taking the same file netobjects produced as html5 and running it on W3.org as an html 4 document, it does not produce hardly no errors. What this tells us is that Netobjects is not generating true html 5 code, its just inserting the html 5 element in the document which is in html 4 coding.
I paid netobjects an upgrade based on the fact that you are promoting the software that it would generate html5 code, however it does not do it, it just simply inserts the element onto html4 code. Please indicate to all your customers whether Netobjects plans an update that will force the software to truly generate html 5 code and not just mask old outdated html 4 code as html 5.
