Hopefully after they fix "unknown or expired link" when clicking the More link.
How do you expect this to be fixed exactly? Say, you opened to front page, left it open for few hours and then clicked "More". What do you expect to see there?

the second page, whatever second page there is at this time. this would mean that it might shows me stuff that I read earlier, but isn't that better then getting an error page?

It sometimes does it when you've been writing a long comment and thus had the page open for a while.
Sometimes chrome even nukes the form when I press back :/

I'm not sure if you're wanting the appearance of HN to improve or update the markup to the latest hip-HTML5 tags. The latter is a waste of time.
Who cares if the html is crufty as long as it works. I use table layouts quite often, and if you look at the source of stackoverflow they use tables too. What I would like to see are a few functionality tweaks to make HN more useful. The main ones that come to mind are: increasing the timeout before you get an 'unknown or expired link' and optionally emailing you when someone replies to one of your comments.

The email notification would be a bit of an antifeature, since it would enable flamewars.

#16I don't understand what this would accomplish, besides giving the validator.w3.org crowd warm fuzzies.
