That’s not ‘using HTML5’, that’s choosing a rendering mode in a mnemonic
fashion, and without the cargo cult parts that do nothing.

Many (besides academical experiments, I'd say all) browsers don’t know
what SGML is, still lots of websites try to look like (parts of) SGML
documents.

Having said that, the above document type declaration meets the SGML
production for ‘document type declaration’. Go figure.

There seem to be quite some things eluding you, too…
