    <thetext>The WebDriver spec, in the chapter on interactable elements[1], currently makes an assumption that browsers will treat HTML4 and HTML5 documents differently.

Browsers do handle HTML documents subtly different based on their DOCTYPE (standards mode, almost standards mode, quirks mode[2]), but with no relation to their version numbers.

Except for in archaeological discourse, the HTML4 spec should be completely ignored. Referencing the HTML5 definition of disabled[3] is prefectly sufficient in our own spec.
