This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The WebDriver spec, in the chapter on interactable elements[1], currently makes an assumption that browsers will treat HTML4 and HTML5 documents differently. Browsers do handle HTML documents subtly different based on their DOCTYPE (standards mode, almost standards mode, quirks mode[2]), but with no relation to their version numbers. Except for in archaeological discourse, the HTML4 spec should be completely ignored. Referencing the HTML5 definition of disabled[3] is prefectly sufficient in our own spec.

remove html5 in favour html as well
This will also require that we reference the html 5.1 specification and references to document point there too
Part 1: fixing html references landed in https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webdriver/rev/dbaebe75dc5e
Part 2: fixing document references landed in https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webdriver/rev/80b8374ec7af
