One of the sexy new trends in HTML5 development right now is Page Transitions. One of the first places I noticed Page Transitions in use was the GitHub Repository Explorer; as you click around to different directories and files, the content slides in and out without reloading the page.
While most of this functionality can be achieved through Javascript alone, the actual URL History manipulation has only been available in the (relatively) recent incarnations of HTML5. When you add in the ability to take advantage of CSS3 transitions for sliding pages in and out, you end up with a pretty modern example of HTML5 capabilities.
