I think we need a path forward for the generated markup. A few things are beginning to be outdated by HTML5. The problem is that some websites depend on the current markup, making all this a breaking change for those sites. And it's hard to evaluate how many site such changes would break.

My current idea is to make a big leap to update everything to HTML5 in one shot, with a configuration option to revert to the old markup. The big leap would make it noticeable so that things aren't breaking sneakily one by one at each update. Making a list of everything in need for an update would be a good start. So here is a tentative list, feel free to improve:

PHP Markdown Extra

Footnotes

Currently using the rev attribute for back-links. This attribute is no longer in HTML5.

Tables

Currently using the align attribute for cell alignment. This attribute is no longer in HTML5.
