I just did an update to my org install, and when I recompiled my notes, I noticed that I was not getting literal exporting for things between a #+BEGIN_HTML and #+END_HTML tag, however #+HTML: prefix still exports properly.

Am I to assume that 

#+BEGIN_HTML 
#+END_HTML

will be completely replaced now with 

#+BEGIN_EXPORT html
#+END_HTML

If so, is there a way to make compilation backwards compatible. I have a lot of old org files that would be a pain to update.  Further, all the documentation on the org site is also out of date.
