Question: Can anyone comment on how important HTML taxonomy in terms of SEO (disregarding accessibility). Will the use of <header> and <article> make any difference in how a page is indexed and ranked directly or indirectly?

One indirect way I can see SEO benefiting is via sharing. Facebook crawling will have an easy time grabbing the <h1>Title</h1> along with whatever comes first in <p>for an excerpt</p>.

Is there any no-brainer reasons or supporting evidence proper taxonomy helps rankings?
