No, omitting version is intentional (and version number did not mean much in the past). HTML5 spec defines parsing algorithm what should be used for all html versions and will never require browsers to do anything different for different versions of html.
If the future browser will be capable to parse HTML8 it will be able to parse HTML5 just fine.
- randallsquared 17y agoI think the problem is that a 2009 browser will not be able to notice that the HTML8 it's seeing is potentially beyond what it can do. With versions, a check for versions above 5 could produce a message that says that some parts might not display properly.
- blasdel 17y agoWhy, just because some Zeldman-humping git noticed they could put a bigger number there? The browser could display an infobar if it actually encounters something it doesn't understand
