Doh! Back from the XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 RECs, they happen to *require* specific DOCTYPEs! Is it because those specs have been written before NVDL and the like? Or because they need to somehow express which version of XHTML is in use? (which HTML5 tries to avoid!) Anyway, IMO, XHTML5 (or HTML5/XML if you prefer) shouldn't mandate anything relative to the DOCTYPE (presence/absence, public/system identifiers, subset, etc.) -- Thomas Broyer
