I challenge the claim that HTML5 is compatible with *all* legacy Web
browsers.
I guess it depends on the definition of "compatible".
I can produce valid HTML 4 documents today that are not
compatible with *all* legacy Web browsers.
That's irrelevant. Can you produce valid HTML5 documents today that are
not compatible with all legacy Web browsers?
I guess the following is an example of a valid HTML5 document that is
incompatible with legacy Web browsers:
<!doctype html>
<title></title>
<svg><script/></svg>
<p>Hello world</p>
I suggest this be weakened
to something like "is compatible with most Web browsers still in
active use today".
What is it that is not compatible with which browser?
