When I insert (e.g.,) <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> at the top of a web page expressed in HTML, I am making a definite statement that that is (a) the dialect I have elected to use, and (b) that is the DTD against which the document should be checked in the event that someone alleges it contains errors. I do not accept that I have been "misled" about its significance; what is the basis for your assertion ? Philip Taylor
