Presumably <!DOCTYPE html> <html/> violates the "Validity constraint: Element Valid" - do we need to change An element is valid if there is a declaration [...] to An element is valid if and only if there is a declaration ? An explicit note on the html doctype might be worth while, with the goal of heading off future questions on this specific topic. We could also mention that other specifications (including HTML) may have a different definition of "valid", or may introduce concepts such as "Schema-Valid". I'm not convinced it's worth a new edition of XML :-) Sorry I wasn't on the call when it was discussed.
