 Thank you to @joyously
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54597#comment:27 who made the
 suggestion] and pointed out that #54597 was too focused on
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54597#comment:27 only block
 content and not non-block content] such as support for `[gallery]` and
 `[caption]` shortcodes.

 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54597#comment:24 I asked the
 question]:
 >For block themes, do you think that Core should automatically default to
 HTML5 for all content (i.e. block and non-block content)? Or should the
 block theme itself set the non-block content theme supports (as non-block
 themes do)?

 >I think it would be good to force HTML5 for block themes, but that's just
 an opinion.

 >+1 That block themes should use HTML5 by default.

 >As far as I can tell, it would make sense if all block themes could only
 use and provide HTML5 markup. Block themes are a good way to drop non-
 HTML5 support in long term, if possible :)
