Comment (by jdufresne):

 > Are there any backwards-compatibility concerns for projects not using an
 HTML5 doctype?

 I'm not aware of any for modern browsers. Just now, I tested the following
 HTML document:

 {{{
 <html>
   <head>
     <title>Test</title>
   </head>
   <body>
     <p>
       <input type="checkbox" checked>
     </p>
   </body>
 </html>
 }}}

 Against the doctypes listed on [https://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-
 list.html w3.org].

 All of these doctypes worked with recent versions of Firefox and Chrome --
 they rendered the checkbox as checked on page reload. I currently do not
 have easy access to IE for testing.

 If you think it would help, I could add a blurb to the "Backwards
 incompatible changes" section of the release notes.
