Feature: HTML5 support
Developer: Nao
Target: themers, modders, users
Status: 95% (complete, but by definition this will never be finished. Also, support in progress in media area.)
Comment:
Adds full support for the HTML5 specs in Wedge (except where XML compatibility is required: XML queries, wireless, etc.)
Most notably, IE 6/7/8 users automatically get the 'html5shiv' shim which enables styling the new tags. The default theme uses some of these tags as well.
To save bandwidth, all self-closing tags were updated to use the simplified syntax (<br> instead of <br />, etc), deprecated attributes (type=text/css, type=text/javascript...) were deleted, and valueless attributes had their XHTML value removed.
All pages fully validate the experimental HTML5 validator at validator.w3.org. If you ever find a page that doesn't validate, make sure to tell us -- we will promptly fix it.
