[thelist] Current recommendation for doctype and <html> tags.

I've been using:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

But talking to a designer yesterday they said that the current
recommendation is to just us <html> and a reduced html5 doctype.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

We don't support older browsers so I'm wondering what issues I need to be
aware of.

Thanks,
