If support for HTML5 is so bad in IE that HTML 4.01 rendering is preferable, I think most people would rather use HTML 4.01. However, I just don't envision a scenario where IE's handling of HTML5 is so bad that you want IE to treat compliant HTML5 documents as HTML 4.01. It would be market share suicide. Think about it: Why would anyone depend on a product from a company that can't support standards even when their head browser developer is the chair of the working group that developed the standard in question?
