HTML 5 seems to now allow the entire U+0001..U+001F range, whereas HTML 4.x, 3.2, and I think 2.0, as defined by their "document character set" and SGML profile, have long forbidden all of that range except for tab, LF, CR, and, inexplicably, FF. Why is HTML 5 different, and what are the expectations for the processing of the now-allowed BEL, BS, VT, DEL, and so on? If it was deliberate, why not put a note of explanation in the spec?
