Thanks for asking.
xhtml_trans is for "XHTML 1.0 Transitional"
xhtml_frames is for "XHTML 1.0 Frameset"
xhtml_2 is for "XHTML 2"
All the official names include Spaces and it's logical to use an underscore to indicate the space.
"HTML5" is spelled without a space officially (there's the analogy to TYPO3).
That's why "html_5" is just as odd as "typo_3"
It may look like nit-picking, but I think it's not professional to spell HTML5 the wrong way.
