I agree. But using HTML5 and making it validate might not be so easy 
(but is that very important for a backend, I am not sure). Also there 
might be problems with IE6 and other IE browsers in particular, though I 
didn't test with them.

I quick-tested the Install Tool with HTML5 doctype, and there was no 
visible differences but validation was failing due to hard brackets in 
the anchor links and some cellpadding/cellpadding in tables. Also there 
was problems with label element uses in relation to validation.

I investigated a bit, but found no easy fix (besides for 
cellpadding/cellspacing which can be changed to CSS), maybe it's just me 
that overlooked the simple solutions.

For anyone interested in testing using HTML5 doctype, attached is a 
patch using HTML5, that also includes the targets on links.
