Allows templates to serve XHTML5 markup by adding the necessary JavaScript shim for IE7+, and for IE6 by converting all new elements to divs and spans with class names that contain the original HTML5 element name prefixed by "html5-", for example: <article> becomes <div class="html5-article"> and <time> becomes <span class="html5-time">

If the browser supports XHTML, the content is served with the application/xhtml+xml MIME type. This can be disabled by placing remove_filter('option_html_type', 'xhtml5support_filter_html_type') in functions.php.

Note that print stylesheets do not get applied to IE7+ even with the shim, so if you are relying on the ability for IE users to print properly-styled pages, you must force the IE6 renaming behavior for all versions of IE by doing update_option('xhtml_support_add_msie_shims', false);
