I like the requirement!
The intention is (I assume) to prevent validators to claim "this 
document is valid HTML5" while the document might very well be invalid 
according to the spec.

The problem is that validators use the term "valid" in a very limited 
sense, but web authors without a through understanding of DTD-validation 
would naturally assume that "valid" would mean "valid according to the 
spec".
