Hello Jennifer,
Thanks for your post.
I have also been experimenting with HTML5 form types over the past few
days. Here is a result of my testing. It only covers a handful of
HTML5 elements and attributes at present.

The table is quite packed really with my notes. There is a link to a
test page too.
Warning for non screen reader users: it might help to collapse the
columns for a couple of browsers in the data table so the content is
more easily readable.

Please let me know if you observe something different in the screen
reader behavior.
Here is the link: www.mindoversight.com/demo/Html5ElementTable.php

Thanks,
Sailesh Panchang
