Mmmh... The documentation seems reasonable, however :

- the link to this documentation appears in the "Options" box, at which
the doctype and the encoding fields do not belong to. This is
misleading, since I did not find this documentation when looking for an
explanation of the issue.

- I understand the warning as "you HAVE TO modify your doctype !!!". In
my opinion it would be better either not to overwrite if the document
doctype and the specified overwriting doctype are equivalent, or to
precise, within the warning, not to take into account this warning if
both are the same.

Here were my two cents. :-)
