Control: retitle -1 Using <!DOCTYPE html> makes timeline empty (only 
header and footer are displayed)

Hello again
After researching a bit more, I think that the timeline software is not 
compatible with HTML5, at least the way it's used by debian-timeline.

Similar issue was raised long time ago to upstream project:

https://code.google.com/archive/p/simile-widgets/issues/450

with no answer :-/

I think I'll leave this bug here, my HTML/js skills are not enough to 
try to solve it, and rename it to reflect that the only validation issue 
left is the HTML5 doctype compatibility.

Kind regards
