Why would it matter? I suppose you mean just the DOCTYPE string, instead 
of suggesting that <!DOCTYPE html> would mean the canvas element 
unnecessary.

In some versions of IE that support <canvas>, Quirks Mode switches the 
support off. But both DOCTYPEs above trigger Standards Mode.

And in markup validation, you can select HTML5 mode in the validator's 
user interface, overriding the effect of DOCTYPE.

Of course new pages are usually best written with <!DOCTYPE html>, and 
with <html lang=...> rather than some odd mess of HTML and XHTML. But 
anyone who wants to be educated in such matters, which are off-topic 
here, can consult suitable HTML resources. Please avoid making the 
impression that you are imitating Lahn the troll.
