The most logical place to start with an HTML5 theme is the doctype:

<!DOCTYPE html>

All joking aside - theme development is a very broad and complex issue. I recommend you look at some existing HTML5 themes - to give you a working base and to broaden your understanding of Magento theming.

Below are all free themes:

HTML5 Boilerplate

Magento's iPhone Theme is now HTML5:

Twitter Bootstrap:

In addition here are some other resources to learn more about theming in general:

Alan Storm (literally) wrote the book on Magento Layout:

A little old, but still relevant:

Magento's own site has some good content, too:

Don't forget Magento U training - worth every penny:
