Offshoot of #1077878: Add HTML5shiv to core:

If we're going to rely on the HTML5 shiv to solve compatibility issues with HTML5 on legacy browsers like IE6-8, it appears we need to make JavaScript a requirement to use Drupal.

I don't think this is compatible with wanting to make Drupal output-agnostic.

A core theme could, perhaps, require JavaScript but I'm not convinced that 's a good idea.

If we do want to fully support these browsers (do we? and are we just talking about administrative interface?) we can do so by including XHTML theme(s) in core.

Apologies for being overly negative :-)

Based on recent discussions from #1077878: Add HTML5shiv to core.

For the record: I'm very fine with Drupal not looking the same in IE678 when Javascript is disabled, but not fine at all with Drupal requiring Javascript to be enabled.
