As the matter of fact, MediaWiki serves HTML5 by default. The only reason why it is still not enabled on Wikipedia is backward compatibility with numerous screen-scraping scripts/tools. However, they had their last warning recently - HTML5 was briefly enabled a couple of times and there's no guarantee that next time it will not stick :D
Was this written anywhere? where and what is the date?
I thought it was the issue that broke access for certain IE users that resulted in it disabled last time..... We have been telling people not to screen scrape for YEARS and to use the api instead where possible, We should just re-enable it and let them solve their own problems.
