Um, no. Not MUST at all. This is misinterpreting the facts.

I would think that IE's non support of the correct mime type means that
"when supported" fails, and as for appropriate, that's a judgement call
based on personal preference.

HTML 4.01 is still entirely appropriate for general content mark-up and IS
the latest version of HTML. What they mean here is that HTML 4.0 is not
appropriate, (and it's debateable whether HTML 3.2 is either... By "version"
do they mean the language or the subset? HTML 3.2 is the latest version of
HTML 3)

XHTML did not replace HTML or it would have been called HTML 5.0.
