Comment (by poena):

 I am for progress, but we must be aware that enabling this setting by
 default will have a negative impact on the design/layout of existing
 sites. The question will be wether this is negligible.

 Enabling HTML5 theme support breaks older themes, including Twenty Eleven.
 I will upload screenshots to illustrate.
 Without HTML5 support enabled, the comment form in Twenty Elven uses the
 text input field for the email input.
 With HTML5 support enabled, the comment form is switched to using the
 email input field, and this changes the positioning of the field, breaking
 the layout.
