The spec is now gaining all the remaining stuff from DOM2 HTML, so this

unnecessary have been removed. Therefore it is not guaranteed that an
implementation that supports "HTML" "5.0" also supports "HTML" "2.0"."
I'm thinking that the spec should maybe just use "2.0" instead of "5.0",
since it's what browsers do and there might be pages that check for
this.
Meanwhile it seems useful to return false as appropriate if the UA only
allows one of the syntaxes, as Smylers points out.
I've removed everything but HTML/2.0.
I'm pretty sure Web compat requires HTML/1.0 to return true, too.
Gecko, WebKit and Opera return true for XHTML/2.0. WebKit and Opera also
return true for XHTML/1.0. I don't know what the Web compat situation is
with the XHTML values.
