Hello, from an authors point of view I was wondering how HTML5 will handle doctypes (I hope we all know why they are important). Even if Web Applications 1.0 becomes HTML5 I don't think it can keep "<!DOCTYPE html>" because it probably needs versioning in it. The public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 5.0//EN" comes to my mind. However, I was actually wondering wether there'll be one doctype for the SGML and XML dialects of HTML5, or one for each dialect, which could result from different naming (XHTML5?). I personally prefer one doctype for both as more than one doctype could confuse many authors. This already happend in HTML 4: You can often see that the actual documents in a frameset wear the Frameset-doctype as well.
