Comment (by jdufresne):
> Are there any backwards-compatibility concerns for projects not using an
HTML5 doctype?
I'm not aware of any for modern browsers. Just now, I tested the following
HTML document:
{{{
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<input type="checkbox" checked>
</p>
</body>
</html>
}}}
Against the doctypes listed on [https://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-
list.html w3.org].
All of these doctypes worked with recent versions of Firefox and Chrome --
they rendered the checkbox as checked on page reload. I currently do not
have easy access to IE for testing.
If you think it would help, I could add a blurb to the "Backwards
incompatible changes" section of the release notes.
