Re: [xwiki-devs] [Idea] Switch to HTML5 doctype ?

Hello,

Since we are dropping support for IE6 and IE7, wouldn't it be a good time to switch to the HTML5 doctype [1] ?

It would also force IE8 to render in non-compatibility mode (meaning using the IE8 rendering engine), as a good side effect. [2]

Maybe we can do this in XE 3.4 ?

WDYT ?

Is it going to work with FF 3.6? Are there recent browsers not supporting (or supporting badly) this HTML5 doctype nowadays? Thanks -Vincent
