Many of these seem to be based on the same template (the ones that have [url=
in the doctype).

We could make "[" after public identifyer go into bogus doctype without setting
force-quirks, while letting any other garbage character set force-quirks ("S"
and "/" needed force-quirks from my earlier findings), and not regress compat.
However, it's just one page of those analyzed that is affected by it (and for
that page I couldn't tell whether it would actually be helped or not), so I
would suggest to Avoid Needless Complexity.
