I would like that, but the fact is that for a long time people won't upgrade their browsers, so they can add the HTML doctype and even if the page is badly broken with regards to what HTML5 says it will be rendered in their non-html5 browsers, and if they try a HTML5 browser and see that their pages no longer works, many times they will blame it on the new version of the browser because the previous version works fine and the rest of their non-html5 browsers still render it fine. So they drop the new version and go back to their crappy non-html5 browser that does all they need. 2007/5/1, Philip Taylor (Webmaster) <P.Taylor@rhul.ac.uk>: > > > > James Graham wrote: > > > What gives you the idea that all content with <!DOCTYPE HTML> (or > > whatever) at the top will be "well formed" > > It won't (until pigs learn to fly); what I am arguing is that > for HTML5+, browsers should refuse to render non-well-formed > documents.
