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?
HTML5 doctype only really affects the triggering of support mode of
browsers (quirks vs. standard). FF 3.6 and others will go just fine,
rendering in standard mode. See

for more.
One thing we have to keep in mind though is validation. For example
<tt> is deprecated with HTML5, and our XHTML renderer renders the
##syntax## as <tt>. We might have to introduce a HTML5 renderer to
take care of such differences with XHTML specs.
Thanks
