Boilerplate starts with the Starkers theme (http://starkerstheme.com/)...

  mixes in HTML5 Boilerplate (http://html5boilerplate.com/)...

    then makes a couple minor modifications...

	1) moved IE conditionals from <boby> to <html>, to better synch with Modernizr...

	2) above also allowed me to remove the <!--[if IE]><![endif]--> recommended by www.phpied.com/conditional-comments-block-downloads/...

	3) moved extraneous items (like Modernizr, jQuery, Belated PNG, etc.) to Admin panel (not the last item in the Settings drop-down)...

	The only extraneous items left in the mark-up are the two favicon references in header.php; read about it there.



* The directory "- MOVE TO ROOT" is filled with HTML5 Boilerplate goodness that 

  should be copied FROM that directory and pasted TO your blog's root directory.

* The .htaccess in that directory is filled with things which I honestly do not understand...

  I had to comment-out several items in order to get my WP installation to work, so, play if you like.



Be sure to read these "read me" type files as well:

	- _READ_ME.txt and _LICENSE.txt are from Starkers Theme

	- README.markdown is from HTML5 Boilerplate



Thanks,
