"The doctype declaration is <!DOCTYPE html> and is case-insensitive in the HTML
syntax." - this sounds like <!DOCTYPE html> is "the" doctype declaration also
in XML, but the XML syntax has no requirements at all wrt which doctype to use,
so that's a bit misleading. It should say that that's the doctype for the HTML
syntax, and that the XML syntax can use any or no doctype.
