I know it is complex. The reason why I was saying this, is that we don't
have to care about HTML5 and compatibility with older browsers. If
somebody wants to have config.doctype = html5 and still wants to have
support for older browsers, there are two choices now

* make a TS condition for older browsers which doesn't produce HTML5 by
setting a different doctype
* Use shim/shiv like Modernizr

For older browsers there still will be some problems, like video/audio
and other stuff.

IMHO it is kind of stupid to have HTML5 output and rely on support for
older browsers. That's asking for problems.

Today we decided to have proper HTML5 where ever possible when
config.doctype = html5. We don't do something in between to support
older browsers.
