Comment (by joedolson):

 For example, there are
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01K2Q7F8KSPZAW175SMMDXHY98 247 results for
 `div.comment-body`] in the theme repository, which will break if HTML5
 comments are enabled.

 There are [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01K2Q7V8V5TTTSQ2KGPKZPCT92
 similar results for `div.alignleft`].

 I spot-checked result in those lists, and while some of them definitely
 include both styles, others don't.

 The HTML5 support options that are purely additive, like widgets and
 navigation menus, shouldn't be a problem; but the ones that swap one
 element for another could cause breakages.
