[[mw:HTML5]] only really covers the use of HTML5 markup, not other
HTML5 features. The idea was to discuss the benefits of changing our
doctype from XHTML 1.0 Transitional to HTML5, from the standpoint of
what features we want that would break validation in XHTML 1.0
Transitional. Cortado doesn't use HTML5 markup, it's JavaScript that
inserts video elements into the DOM at runtime. The fact that the
feature it uses happens to be in the HTML5 standard doesn't make much
of a difference to anything, any more than does the fact that
getElementsByClassName() happens to be in HTML5.
[[mw:HTML5]] discusses the possibility of using <video> or <audio>
tags directly in the markup. This would allow our video or audio to
play even in browsers that have JavaScript disabled, which would be
nice to have.
