Something that always bothered me about Bootstrap is that the examples don't make full use of HTML5, although… Bootstrap makes use of certain HTML elements and CSS properties that require the use of the HTML5 doctype. Include it at the beginning of all your projects. The two examples that immediately come to mind are NAVs[1] and progress bars[2]; HTML5 already defines these elements. Why reinvent the wheel?

When I evaluated the use of HTML5 section elements last year, including the nav element, screen readers didn't support them.[1] Also, there wasn't any benefit to using HTML5 section elements. A book named The Truth About HTML5[2] provides additional reasons not to use HTML section elements. I've yet to read about any benefits to using HTML5 section elements.
