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.

Apparently something ate my last post here. (I think it was my Chromium nightly build.) Okay, reposting from memory:
After discussion with Brion on IRC, I've provisionally enabled an HTML 5 doctype in r53034:
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:
- 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
