Due to the HTML5 specification being a work in progress and therefore (X)HTML5 conformance criteria changing daily; I think we need to make people aware that the (X)HTML5 validation service is experimental. What was valid (X)HTML5 today may not be valid (X)HTML5 next week so I think we need a more appropriate success message. At the moment we have the following message near the top of the page: "This document was successfully checked as HTML5!" Maybe this could be changed to: "This document was successfully checked as HTML5! The HTML5 specification is a work in progress. Validation results for your document may well vary as the specification progresses." Or something like that :) note: of course, change the HTML5 to XHTML5 for XHTML5 documents.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/dev/tests/html5-ok.html;ss This document was successfully checked as HTML5! plus the info box about Using experimental feature: HTML5 Conformance Checker should fit the bill for the time being.
