Re: HTML version issue summary?

You would still have to worry about older browser versions even when  
HTML5 support started to emerge.  If you only care about browsers  
that fully support HTML5, then you'd just use the HTML5 doctype/ 
version and let versions of IE that haven't opted in using the  
doctype switch get your "older HTML4" version (along with older  
versions of Safari, Firefox, etc.)
