 I think that we are taking this ticket away from the subject and going
 back instead of forward. WordPress already stepped into HTML5 and this big
 improvement must not be degraded in any way, especially going back to
 HTML4, completely or just partially. Twenty Ten uses HTML5 doctype since
 3.0 release, Twenty Eleven is a huge step towards the future and HTML5
 Themes, suggestion to go back honestly makes little sense.

 See: http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/06/our-plans-to-support-
 modern-browsers.html

 As of August 1st, we will discontinue support for the following browsers
 and their predecessors: Firefox 3.5, Internet Explorer 7, and Safari 3. In
 these older browsers you may have trouble using certain features in Gmail,
 Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs and Google Sites, and eventually
 these apps may stop working entirely.
