 It'd be nice if Twenty Thirteen had these small changes made since it's
 using an HTML5 doctype. You can find a lot of discussions on the web
 talking about these two things - the general consensus is that it's best
 practice to avoid these patterns.

 == Remove trailing slashes ==

 The XHTML-style closing slashes are optional and ideally should be removed
 from the `<meta>` and `<link>` elements.

 == Remove type attribute from `script` ==

 > The type attribute gives the language of the script or format of the
 data. If the attribute is present, its value must be a valid MIME type.
 The charset parameter must not be specified. The default, which is used if
 the attribute is absent, is "text/javascript".

 element

 Current code:

 {{{
 <head>
     <meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />
     <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
     <title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
     <link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" />
     <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" />
     <!--[if lt IE 9]>
     <script src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/js/html5.js"
 type="text/javascript"></script>
     <![endif]-->
     <?php wp_head(); ?>
 </head>
 }}}

 Proposed:

 {{{
 <head>
     <meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
     <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
     <title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
     <link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
     <link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>">
     <!--[if lt IE 9]>
     <script src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();
 ?>/js/html5.js"></script>
     <![endif]-->
     <?php wp_head(); ?>
 </head>
 }}}
