Derk-Jan Hartman wrote this summary and suggestion:
Dear all: due to the switch to HTML5, there might be some changes to the
positioning of inline images. This is often apparent in the templates
which positions a dot on top of a map. The dot might now appear around 5
pixels lower than before. This problem can be fixed by setting in the
style of the parent element of the image: "line-height: 0;"
Examples of fixes follow:

For those interested: this is the particular comment that describes why
in our previous rendering we did NOT have to set this, and why we now
need to set it explicitly:

Thanks, DJ!

Subject: [Wikitech-l] HTML5, it's a coming (again)!
To: wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
It's been a long time coming (for the nth time..), but we're scheduling a
deployment of HTML5 across the Wikimedia cluster [1]. This is set for Monday
17th September at 18:00-20:00 UTC [2].
The intention is to set $wgHtml5 [3] to true everywhere. It's been running
on
MediaWiki.org and our 2 test wikis for quite a while, and other sites
like
translatewiki.net with no issues.
The intention is to leave it enabled unless it causes major problems. If
you're running an application that screen scrapes, shame on you; you've had
enough notice to get it fixed! ;)
Now is the time to fix up your scripts and programs (where necessary), tell
your friends!
Sam
