I support using html 5 new features, but I don't like the idea of
starting to strip tags "just because we can".
Currently MediaWiki does quite a good work on it. I don't see a reason
to start removing tags. Yes, allegdely there's an space improvement but
still... Perhaps we should also look into alternative solutions like SDCH.

After discussion with Brion on IRC, I've provisionally enabled an HTML
5 doctype in r53034:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/53034
I see the "Attribute name not allowed on element a at this point." has
been taken care of at r52963
Interestingly, it had been removed in r38323 and readded by Simetrical
in r45418.
My thoughts on what we should do in the immediate
future are:
1) Get at least the enwiki Main Page set up so it will validate as
HTML 5 when we scap:
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=HTML5&group=0>
<http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=HTML5&group=0>
