Top validation errors

I'd be glad if they changed the format of entities to something like &non-whitespace; suddenly all uses of & on its own becomes legal and is backwards compatible

This is one of those improvements that could have gone into HTML5. Maybe we'll see it in HTML6.

It's nice how they actually made writing HTML much nicer in HTML5, even without this. The simplification of the doctype and charset (<!doctype html><meta charset=utf-8>) was really nice.

Why use character entities at all when serving documents as UTF-8?

You need them for < > and &.
