I think this is fair. I'm inclined to file two bugs here:

(1) Kill $wgCleanupPresentationalAttributes from MediaWiki core; "magical"
transformations like this are almost always an absolutely terrible idea and
should only be done when absolutely necessary (such as stripping out dangerous
attributes); you're never going to catch every (edge) case and you're going to
do more harm than good (and create confusion about what's magically transformed
and under what conditions); I thought we established these principles with
magical transformations years ago.

(2) Add a tracking category for pages using invalid HTML5; this should be
straightforward enough; allow wiki authors to slowly fix these pages to use
better code by auto-categorizing pages that use invalid HTML5.

This bug can then rot, as far as I'm concerned.
