HTML 5 Filter: jQuery HTML 5 Selectors, do they work?

I'm designing a Wordpress blog for my friend, and I'm making the (perhaps stupid) move to make it with HTML 5 and CSS 3. I've had no trouble thus far, but when I added in my jQuery (v1.3.2), I'm having trouble using its selector engine to grab the new HTML 5 elements. Specifically the

element.

The full reason I need to do this follows:

I'm using a custom font for the nav, and rather than using CSS 3s new @font-face, I've just decided to go with Cufon. Cufon has a very limited selector engine, but it's made to work with jQuery's, and many other frameworks' selector engines. So, I'm trying to couple those two things to replace the font of the a tags inside the

element.

So if anyone knows how to select the new HTML 5 elements with jQuery, I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.

Can't you just give the nav element an id and select it as normal that way?
