If so, is there a way to make compilation backwards compatible. I have

a simple regex replace (or two I guess) will fix all in a file?


Better still `org-repair-export-blocks' will fix them.

It can be found in the

: *** New syntax for export blocks

section of ORG-NEWS.


Yes, I agree --- but that's a burden on long time users even if it is a
simple sed script.

I just wonder why the #+BEGIN_HTML was removed in the first place? What
harm was it doing?

As the ORG-NEWS section above notes, it fixes some parsing issues.

And, why was this change made without updating the documentation to reflect it?


It is updated. For example, see

        (info "(org) Special blocks")
and
        (info "(org) results")

and in ORG-NEWS.
