Well, in theory it is possible to switch from XHTML to HTML. Though, it's not enough to simply change the doctype, one will have to thoughtfully check all markup and fix all possible discrepancies afterwards. But what's the reason for this changes in the first place?

Closing this just as #250 .

If you'll ever make a custom theme with the desired doctype, feel free to get back to this. In that case after some basic tests I would be able to merge such PR, so users will be able to choose between the existing theme and a new one.
