I agree with Jigal. Integrators/administrators will get more confused.
It's strange to change html_5 to html5, because that should be the right
spelling, while not looking at the other options. W3C is using XHTML2 on
their website (without the space) when the version number is not
mentioned, or XHTML 2.0 when the version is involved. Shouldn't the
other options be changed then? We are writing it wrong anyway, because
it should be uppercase.
