Comment (by nathanrice):

 Option 1 seems sensible to me. It doesn't relegate `gallery` to any non-
 preferred status, it's just a fallback for people who implemented `html5`
 support before `gallery` support existed. If all the documentation
 recommends being explicit with what elements you want on, use of `html5`
 without explicit support will go way down.

 This preserves backward compat without breaking sites.

 Removing the ability to use `html5` by itself isn't "future proof as other
 types are added" any more than option 1 is. All it does is forces
 unnecessary failures with the only real benefit being the removal of some
 code.

 As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't even warrant a `_doing_it_wrong`
 trigger. Themes (for the most part) don't exactly have a way of pushing
 updates out to users.
