What gives you the idea that all content with <!DOCTYPE HTML> (or whatever) at
the top will be "well formed" (I'm not even sure what well formed means when
talking about HTML, but I guess you mean "no parser-level syntax errors")? That
seems to be an astoundingly naive assumption which suggests a faliure to learn
from the mistakes of XHTML.
