-> * Removal of the favicon from page.tmpl. Surely html5 supports?
-> * Removal of BASEURL from page.tmpl, apparently a mistake.
-> * Removal of the `/` between wiki title and page title.
-> Personal preference.
-> * Removal of `comments` div, which is there to be styled.
-> * Why use a `p` rather than the `div` for `addcomments`?

## Time element
The [time element](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-time-element) ideally needs the datatime= attribute set by a template variable with what [HTML5 defines as a valid datetime string](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/infrastructure.html#valid-global-date-and-time-string).
> Also, the [[plugins/relativedate]] plugin needs to be updated to
> support relatatizing the contents of time elements. --[[Joey]]
+
+> Done and done; in html5 mode it uses the time tag, and even
+> adds pubdate when displaying ctimes. --[[Joey]]
+
+## tidy plugin
+
+Will reformat html5 to html4.

+is experimental, but complete enough. --[[Joey]]
