Using html5 in magento

Trying to validate html5 and I get following errors:

Error: Saw < when expecting an attribute name. Probable cause: Missing > immediately before.
At line 3, column 1
html lang="nl"↩<head>↩<meta ht
Warning: Attribute <head is not serializable as XML 1.0.
From line 1, column 16; to line 3, column 6

Error: Attribute <head not allowed on element html at this point.
From line 1, column 16; to line 3, column 6

Attributes for element html:

Magento's default (and most of the third party) themes don't validate to the HTML5 specification. The default ones were created around 2007/2008 before HTML5 was mainstream. Check with individual theme authors for the 3rd party ones if you want HTML5 support.

Magento Boilerplate is an open source project you should look at. It may not be 100% to the spec, but it looks like your best bet.
