Comment (by dmsnell):

 This is great, @poena - thanks for surfacing this. I guess `Twenty Eleven`
 is using HTML5 support as an indirect proxy to something else? Why does
 the styling mess up?

 I'm asking because HTML5 support is a product of browser code, not theme
 code, so this highlights a disparity between WordPress' view of it and the
 real view of it. If we're basing decision off of indirect measures, I
 wonder if we can update code so that we base our decisions off of more
 direct measures. That is, themes don't determine whether a page is HTML5,
 the browser will.
