We all agree that this is bad, what we need to figure out is what to do next:
1: Disable the transform and output the align attribute even though it's not valid HTML5. Solve validness later. 2: Remove the attribute from HTML5 and 'break' the content. Fix by users (or bot). 3: Disable HTML5, correct the content of the wiki's (possibly with a bot) and remove the attribute in HTML5 mode, reenable HTML5. 4: Fix the transform (not that easy)
My personal preference is with 1, since this is causing trouble now and with 1 we solve immediate problems, we just add to the lack of valid HTML5 output that we already have. In my opinion 2 would be too disruptive and 3 would take too long.
Agreed, let's do #1. It sounds like this isn't our only HTML5 validity problem. We shouldn't punish our readers with poorly-formatted content in the name of technical correctness.
