Html5 is created in such a way that it will be backward compatibility.
it will have html + xml as their base.
in html4 we are writting <html>
but as per rule html 5 should be written as follows.

<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
- meta elements are replaced.<meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html; charset=urf-8″>
<meta charset=”utf-8″>
in html5 their no necessary to use doctype. as everything is going to handle with xml.
