Ignoring the context of a statement and then attacking the person making the 
statement (instead of the statement) on those grounds constitutes a number 
of common fallacies.

HTML5 was declared (with what is known as "doctype" per the current HTML5 
Working Draft), but was evidently not used in the rest of the document.  
Calling a statement that points this out a "bullshit statement" is 
inappropriate by any reasonable measure.
