Checkbox in theme options is confusing UI. And why would a user want to change back or forth? Let child themes declare theme support for html5.

Ideally it would work like this

old installation upgrades -> nothing happens, theme remains xhtml
child theme declares add_theme_support for html5 -> theme uses html5
new installation -> theme uses html5 by default

It's possible that the theme_support will be required for new installations as well, this needs to be tested.
