HTML5 currently deems the version attribute to be obsolete. HTML5+RDFa
currently requires it. These are two W3C specs produced by the same working
group, but they have different editors, and are both still in Working Draft
stage, so they disagree on this point. In practice, you should not use a
version attribute if you're emitting plain HTML5, but you theoretically should
if you're using HTML5+RDFa. (As far as I know this will cause validation
errors regardless, because I don't think there's an HTML5+RDFa validator
available right now.)
So, I'm closing this as INVALID, since the code is needed to conform to
HTML5+RDFa. Please reopen if you think this is an error.

Related: mediawiki w3c validation is currently broken. by default mediawiki
installs with wghtml5 + wgwellformedxml config options on. this outputs an
xhtml strict doctype. I have read simetricals comment on this in the source,
but for me I would like to have html5 + markup with quotes. so well formed,
but
with the html5 doctype. at least it would have some chance of validating then.
It does validate as-is. You just have to explicitly tell it that it's HTML5.
For instance, you can use the URL http://html5.validator.nu/, or in the W3C
validator, go to More Options and change Document Type to HTML5
(experimental).
You cannot have well-formed XML with the HTML5 doctype, unless you use no named
entities other than lt; gt; quot;. If you think it would be better to
replace all nbsp; in the codebase with #160;, well, see if you can convince
all the other devs, then get back to me.
If you want well-formed-looking markup but don't care if it's actually
well-formed, because of stylistic preference, you're the second person who's
asked for that (unless you're the same as the first?), so maybe that would be a
useful feature to add for people who want validation and XML-style markup but
don't care about actual well-formedness.
Anyway, this deserves another bug.
