EDIT: Or can they still go in the doctype def as usual? Just *allowed* to be omitted?

and what about when we want to define our own elements/DTD?

Does this mean HTML5 is fully released? Because they said it wouldn't be fully released until 2025 o.O
2022 was the estimated date that HTML5 would reach "W3C Recommendation" status. That status requires that the spec be finished and that there are two complete implementations that are compatible with one another. Note that the process to reach W3C Recommendation is a lot more strict than when HTML4 was published; in particular, you need to write tests to make sure that browsers support the spec correctly and that there aren't holes in the spec. This is why specs like CSS2.1 are still not W3C Recommendations despite having been begun back in 1998 (via CSS2.0).
As for the actual date, the WHATWG basically says that "it'll get done when it gets done". See http://wiki.whatwg.o..._be_finished.3F.

old browsers supports these new tags?
I think a lot of the more semantic tags that have no actual functionality are quite backwards compatible. For example, when the old IEs encounter tags like <nav> or <section> that they are not familiar with, they will just be treated / rendered as divs, which is what they essentially are. The more functional tags however, such as canvas, may not.

Actually, they won't. In older versions of IE, element tags such as <nav> and </nav> get treated as if they were two distinct void elements (i.e., nav and /nav elements with no content).
In browsers that recognize the tags as expected (i.e., as one element), the behavior is still not that of a div (block-level) element, but of a span (inline) element.

I could careless about html5. I rather be looking for new web browsers that follow a standard. I hope and wish that we will have once clear easy to learn standard so that the webpage will look exactly the same and function exactly the same regardless what browser our clients uses.
This is what I am looking forward. They better get their act together.

To be honest the more I dig into HTML 5, the more I like it.
<!DOCTYPE html> <!-- So much better than having to type --> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
that’s just a bogus DTD to trigger standards mode. (and that’s why XHTML5 explicitly must not use it).
