[Building Sakai] SHould we change the DOCTYPE for Portal pages?

No, its just a simpler Doctype declaration. Standards mode may be triggered in older browsers.
There is a good writeup here: http://diveintohtml5.info/introduction.html

I vote that we get this done in 10. If bad things happen, back it out and hold it over to the next release.

cheers,
Steve
