There is no indication, that this might be 'HTML5'. Therefore no

"text/html" is the indication that the HTML5 spec applies. (Or at least,
that will be the case once we update the text/html registration.)
This would be really a big backwards incompatibility, because
it is not obvious, what to send for previous HTML versions.
HTML5 describes how you handle documents intended for previous versions as
well, so that's not an issue.
Well, except for the things it doesn't describe anymore.
So I agree that the media type registration should remain in a
stand-alone document, obsoleting RFC 2854, but keeping most the historic
stuff in it.
This may require an issue in the Issue tracker.
