I think these changes are sufficient to consider the case closed:

http://www.w3.org/mid/E1LJDde-0002hk-Kh%40lionel-hutz.w3.org
http://www.w3.org/mid/E1LJDeq-0002kq-M1%40lionel-hutz.w3.org

The first is a generic fix for doctype override construction (works if either
or both or neither of pubid/sysid are not available), and the second removes a
bogus public id for HTML5 (types are keyed by public id so _something_ must be
there for all types, and empty string seems to me the most logical choice for
HTML5).

Actually I do not know how the HTML5 override could have worked properly
without the latter patch (it inserted "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "HTML5"> for me
which to me seems exactly what was coded), but it did on validator.w3.org
(inserted "<!DOCTYPE html>").  Maybe v.w.o wasn't using the types.conf that was
in CVS but a version similarly altered as the 2nd patch above?
