What’s nice about this new DOCTYPE, especially, is that all current browsers (IE, FF, Opera, Safari) will look at it and switch the content into standards mode – even though they don’t implement HTML5. This means that you could start writing your web pages using HTML5 today and have them last for a very, very, long time.
If nothing else, this should be a good excuse to look through the changes in HTML5 and familiarize yourself with what’s in the pipeline for browsers – Internet Explorer included.
