[theme-reviewers] Edit to codex, regarding charset etc.

[Edward Caissie]

I'm leaning towards something along these lines:

... charset is required, but it is up to the developer to chose their
> doctype and which tag they wish to use. This is no different than requiring
> a doctype. This does not mandate which one, as long as it is a syntactically
> correct current standard.
