First of all sorry for all the types errors in my previous message :s.

I don't understand what compatibility issues it might create if we just change the doctype. Of course the core shouldn't use any of the html5 possibilities without providing a graceful degradation to xhtml but changing the doctype only shouldn't break anything I guess since xhtml is valid html5.

On the other hand, sending a doctype of html5 would allow optional-apps to use html5 new features.

Can you tell me what kind of browsers would reject <!DOCTYPE HTML> since even google uses it ?

Systho.

For info : My question came from reading this post : http://www.webmaster-source.com/2010/11/29/its-safe-to-use-the-html5-doctype-today/

Hi all,

does anyone see a problem if we change the Header#tiHTml to produce a
html5 doctype insetad of an xhtml ?
Hi Philippe,

I do. For reverse-compatibility with old browsers, there should be an
way to configure the portal to ask for XHTML. Is there a way whereby,
instead of setting it straight, you can define a configuration parameter
in a special "Legacy support" section of the settings page?

Yannick
