We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).

Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.

Additional information:

DevExpress ASP.NET controls can now be rendered in Html5 document type compliance mode.
We have implemented the new DoctypeMode configuration option that specifies a document type according to which DevExpress controls will be rendered.
Two modes are available:
- Xhtml (default value) – use this mode with the <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> page doctype declaration.
- Html5 – use this mode with the <!DOCTYPE html> page doctype declaration.
You can specify the DoctypeMode property manually in the Web.Config file.

XML
<configuration> ... <devExpress> ... <settings doctypeMode="Html5" /> ... </devExpress> ... </configuration>

Or you can use the DevExpress Project Wizard (the DX Control Settings tab, Doctype Mode combo box) to specify the required property value.
