There's a major drawback I read about: as you'll probably know, IE can't style elements it doesn't know. In order to style them, you need something like HTML5 shiv. But when printing a page using IE, JavaScript is not processed and IE won't print your page the way you intended.

As of last april, above mentioned problem does no longer exist. Now we have an IE Print Protector, which is included in HTML 5 shiv, so your pages will print correctly.

EDIT: I can probably update this post with new links daily, but I prefer a lazy shortcut: just have a look at these Delicious bookmarks. A less useful resource, but still a good one, is Twitter. There are tools that scrape all Tweets containing #html5 or html5, but I'm not that familiar with those.
