I'm not sure if you're wanting the appearance of HN to improve or update the markup to the latest hip-HTML5 tags. The latter is a waste of time.

  Who cares if the html is crufty as long as it works. I use table layouts quite often, and if you look at the source of stackoverflow they use tables too. What I would like to see are a few functionality tweaks to make HN more useful. The main ones that come to mind are: increasing the timeout before you get an 'unknown or expired link' and optionally emailing you when someone replies to one of your comments.

    The email notification would be a bit of an antifeature, since it would enable flamewars.
