A:
HTML 5 is still a draft specification.
Are you comfortable with a spec that may change, is not fully or even uniformly implemented across different browsers? If the answer is yes, then use it.
On my own personal site, which is also my development playground and it doesn't matter if a feature does not work I would certainly play with it.
For a professional site? Not until the spec is final, approved and well supported on the different browsers/platforms.

HTML5 will be a draft until 2022 :)

@Baztoune - Your crystal ball is clearer than mine. Mine doesn't give a date.

That's just an estimation from the HTML5 editor http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#What.27s_this_I_hear_about_2022.3F but it's kind of funny

“Are you comfortable with a spec that may change, is not fully or even uniformly implemented across different browsers?” — If not, then don’t use HTML 4 or CSS 2, because they’re not fully or uniformly implemented across different browsers.

Personally I would say "go for it" get used to it - ready for the big roll out.
Professionally, wait! it isn't ready!

I personally agree with Oded. Check this useful site to see which features are implemented by actual browsers and make your informed decision:

PS This site heavily uses some html5 features, so it's viewable only with Firefox, Chrome or Safari.

I've started using HTML5 because of the HTML5 Shiv which is an HTML5 enabling script. Plus, I've had a couple of clients want it, to "future proof" their site.
CSS3, I use mainly to add styling that will make the site look better for Webkit/Firefox users.
About 40% of browsers support html5 and css3

@David Dorward you are right but its almost done hance you can see youtube and google page are rendered. So if google can think its good time , why not in any case we have html5 shiv.

The Youtube homepage is an invalid mess with lots of layout tables and no obvious sign (not that I spent too long looking) of anything from HTML 5 except the Doctype. Ditto the main Google homepage (except it has fewer layout tables because it has almost no content). As for the HTML5Shiv - if you have important structural elements (such as `article`) which display inline by default and need JavaScript enabled to apply style to them in commonly used browsers, then the choice of markup has failed.
