HTML5 is a W3C Recommendation and it specifies obsolete non-conforming
features, e.g.:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/obsolete.html#non-conforming-features

Implementations must still support such features, but authors must not
use them.  Also, execCommand() is in HTML5 too:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/editing.html#editing-apis

So I don't see what the problem is.
