I just looked at the XML 1.0 spec (<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/>). The 
relevant terminology there is:

XML spec                    DOM spec
---------------------------------------------
XMLDecl
VersionNum                  xmlVersion
EncName                     xmlEncoding
(SDDecl)                    xmlStandalone
doctypedecl                 doctype / DocumentType
Name                        name
PubidLiteral                publicId
SystemLiteral               systemId
intSubset                   internalSubset

I think the DOM approach is more what we want. We also have types and 
properties. However, I don't like calling the property for the document 
type name just "name".
