I didn't. I said it wouldn't be SGML. The syntax might (I haven't looked
closely enough at it to determine) be valid within the rules of SGML. I
don't think it can be parsed as SGML though.

"Because SGML has never been deployed in browsers and many html
authoring tools, HTML 5 defines a new serialization called html, which
looks a lot like the previous known SGML."

"For compatibility with existing content and prior specifications, this
specification describes two authoring formats: one based on XML
(referred to as XHTML5), and one using a custom format inspired by SGML"

  -- http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/

"While the HTML form of HTML5 bears a close resemblance to SGML and XML,
it is a separate language with its own parsing rules."
