We have a longstanding request to enable HTML5 on all

We've had it enabled on
mediawiki.org for ages,
with minimal death and
mayhem. There are two issues listed as blockers:
Bug 30525: Search bar icon/button slightly lower when
html5 mode is enabled
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30525
Doesn't look that scary.
Bug 36495: Sanitizer incorrectly converts
align="right" for elements
that are not table-cells
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36495
I could poke at it as part of my 20% time.
Bug 30525 doesn't seem like a blocker to me (but
patches definitely
welcome). Bug 36495 seems more likely to cause problems, though I'd
like to nudge Krinkle to explain Comment 9.
Assuming we can either get these fixed, or agree they
aren't blockers,
I say we set a date and go. Should we plan on sometime in July (say a
week or two after Wikimania)?
I say go for it. Some people are always going to whine, but we
shouldn't wait forever for a few XML-loving bots to upgrade. We
recently added IPv6 support, yet Wikipedia didn't die in pain while
some anti-vandalism tools were broken. Same thing here.
