DOCTYPE in templates of 2.1b1?

default.master.tpl in 2.1b1 just starts with

<!DOCTYPE html>

whereas the mobile template and 2.0.x templates start with something like

<!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-us">

Is there a reason for this?

    The first doctype is for html5, the other one is an older doctype - I assume the vanilla team are moving to fully integrating html5 in 2.1.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Should I replace the old doctype with the new one in the mobile template then?

  • Doctypes are helpful mostly for meeting standards and making the browser render the markup correctly.

    It is up to you to decide if you want to change it.
