The most recent standard is HTML5, it's supported by all modern browsers.

If you add the HTML5 doctype then technically it's an HTML5 page. You don't have to add the newer elements introduced in HTML5.
Even if you did add HTML5 elements, the browsers are generally going to ignore elements that they don't understand. Web browsers are programmed to do the best they can with what you give them.
The doctype to use is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
There's a lot if other specifics with regard to HTML5, new APIs and CSS3, but again you can start by simply using the new doctype.
Chrome happens to be one of the browsers that provides the most support.

Depends what you mean by slightly older, how old are you talking?
