HTML5 validation message

Hi,

I'm forwarding the following message that was posted on Unicorn's track:

[[
When a HTML5 page validates[1] without errors there's a message that 
says "This means that the resource in question identified itself as 
"HTML5" and that we successfully performed a formal validation using an 
SGML, HTML5 and/or XML Parser(s) (depending on the markup language used)."

Surely this cannot be true, as HTML5 has no SGML serialization, and the 
switch between HTML and XML parser depends on the MIME type, not "the 
markup language used".

In other words, either this text is wrong, or the validator is actually 
doing it wrong.
