Sigil 0.8.x does support all of these tags, if you use the proper doctype for HTML5 files.
So what's the proper doctype I should be using for my epub3 books? I'm using this:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <title></title>
  <link href="../Styles/Style0001.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
Which was put in there automatically by Sigil.

Wait, am I missing something? I thought EPUB supported XHTML 2 yet the doctype specifies XHTML 1.1. I want to make EPUB3 books with Sigil, that's my whole goal.

Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. How many ereaders actually support EPUB3? EPUB3 has been out for several years, right?

All I want to do is include images in my books. No audio or video yet.
