I love what you've done here. It's indeed a great starting template and unlike that -other- html5 template it does a good job explaining why you would or wouldn't use some of the elements.

I also disagree with some of the other commenters on the inclusion of GA code, yeah it could do without but i have never put a site online that didn't have that tag in it while i have released many that did not need Modernizr, jquery or some of the other fancy pants stuff in boilerplate.

Also i love the plug-and-play video template. Well done sir!
