Does anyone know if Google News properly indexes HTML5 websites?

For example, since HTML5 allows for to have an h1 tag (instead of having it where the heading tags are done downward, i.e. the article gets h1, a sub section would get h2, the sidebar navigation gets h3, etc.), if I had the tag have an h1, would Google News get confused or do they already support and would notice the h1 and index as they normally do for an HTML4/XHTML page?

I'm sure google can and will index your content. I'm not sure if google will give more weight to article's h1 instead of header's h1 for SEO.

Keep in mind that title tag is more important (in SEO weight) than h1 headings.

Note that what goes to google results are tags title and meta tag description. Other tags are for weightning only. And as rule of thumb, how close to page's start are they keywords, the best.

It could be interesting add an H1 to the header element, from SEO ponit of view.

Google can index everything, HTMLs, PDFs, XLSs etc. So yes it can index your page. But will it index it in the best way for SEO is another issue.
