I was really just admiring the choice in context of the specification as a specification. I think the simple doctype is <strong>good</strong>. I have similar thoughts about many of the features brought in from the cold (<code>innerHTML</code> springs to mind.) I'm using the doctype now and, through modernizr, some of the new semantic markup elements but it's not quite what it will be in the future when everything surrounding the new standard is in place.

The only downside is that you cannot validate your doctype when you don't include it in the head. And, since there is no validator for HTML5 *yet* you don't have anything to add. So, it's sort of a new discovery for most to achieve something that's always been available. You’ve always been able to do that – look at Google’s doctype.
