The rendering issue that prompted r53137 has been fixed in r53141.
However, everyone should be on the lookout for browsers becoming
slightly more standards-compliant when this is enabled, possibly
breaking some things. Since there are no known issues, it should be
safe to re-enable so it can get further testing. See this page for info
on the effects of different doctypes:

$wgXhtmlDefaultNamespace = 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml';
/**
- * Should we output an HTML 5 doctype? This needs to be left off until some
- * lingering rendering issues are resolved -- apparently it switches some
- * browsers from "almost standards" mode to standards mode.
+ * Should we output an HTML 5 doctype? This mode is still experimental, but
+ * all indications are that it should be usable, so it's enabled by default.
+ * If all goes well, it will be removed and become always true before the 1.16
+ * release.
