The previous doctype had "HTML5" in it, so I presumed that there was a need to include information about what version of HTML a document claimed itself to be (what I had in mind then was for validators), but as was pointed out that is not an issue. I am not in favor of versioning. My proposal to include a version attribute back then was not for the same reasons Chris Wilson stated at all.
