Comment:

 WordPress itself does not output HTML5, instead, All functions will
 generally return HTML4/XHTML strings.

 Theme authors may replace core strings via filters and/or registering
 their own widgets if WordPress's output doesnt conform to their Doctype
 specifications.

 I'm setting this a dev-feedback, with the question of: What Doctypes does
 WordPress currently support, and what should it support?

 Given that the attributes there at present are virtually useless to most
 people, i see no reason to not remove them, however, Future output may not
 conform to HTML5 spec either.
