Comment (by nacin):

 Replying to [comment:9 nathanrice]:
 > Might I still recommend that JUST enabling theme support for html5 with
 no types array isn't necessarily doing it wrong? It's more like a
 universal "html5 everything" directive.

 So, this is to prepare you for the fact that if/when we add additional
 values (there are more template tags that could probably get this
 treatment?), you won't actually opt-in by specifying only `html5`. The
 problem here is if we add a future type, we might completely break a site
 and/or its CSS by pulling the rug out. ''That's'' why it was meant to be
 explicit. I don't want to hamstring us from future changes. As you said,
 overhauling markup suddenly could "catastrophically damage the look of
 sites".
