Drupal 8 now has an HTML5 DOCTYPE

I'm excited to announce that the patch to convert the html.tpl.php template has been committed. Here's what this means:
- Drupal 8 has a true HTML5 DOCTYPE.
- RDF is not hard-coded and the RDF variables are not exposed in the templates.
- There are separate variables to handle attributes for
<html>and<body>elements. This allows us to easily add attributes to the<html>element, such as a manifest attribute (which is needed when working with Offline Web applications using the Application Cache).
