[whatwg] Section 1.7 editorial

The first such concrete syntax is "HTML5". This is the format
recommended for most authors. It is compatible with all legacy Web
browsers. If a document is transmitted with the MIME type text/html,
then it will be processed as an "HTML5" document by Web browsers.

The second concrete syntax uses XML, and is known as "XHTML5". When a
document is transmitted with an XML MIME type, such as
application/xhtml+xml, then it is processed by an XML processor by Web
browsers, and treated as an "XHTML5" document.

The last sentence is awkward. I think making it more parallel with the
previous paragraph would help. I.e.

If a document is transmitted with an XML MIME type, such as
application/xhtml+xml, then it will be processed as an "XHTML5"
document by Web browsers.
