I believe that there /is/ a problem, and the problem lies in your last line. A lot of the work /had already/ been done in HTML 4.01 Strict; the WHATWG HTML5 specification appears to ignore much of that, and to base its design on less rigorous specifications (HTML 4.01 Transitional, possibly even HTML 3.2 : I haven't yet had time to check the provenance of all legacy elements included).
