I've seen no discussion of moving to HTML 5 officially, as HTML 5 is not even
finalized yet, likely won't be for some time, and support for it is still hit-
or-miss across features and browsers.
That said, HTML 5 has an XML-friendly version, as far as I understand, and
there's certainly nothing stopping a module or theme from using HTML 5-specific
tags. So if you wanted to, for example, develop a module that used the
<video> tag, Drupal won't get in your way. The page would not validate
against an XHTML validator, but that's to be expected. You could also specify
an HTML 5 doctype in your page.tpl.php for your theme and everything should
still keep working, too.
