 Should it be the time where coding standards meet html5 or at least get
 mentioned?

 In [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-
 standards/html/ html coding standards] there's a few things that should be
 improved.

 - [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-
 standards/html/#self-closing-elements self closing] elements are not
 necessary anymore [https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#void-elements
 link]
 - [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-
 standards/html/#quotes attributes] don't have to have a value
