Ah, I see you talk about the future doctype of HTML 5. :-) The 
HTML 5 doctype is only special in that it informs you about the 
version of HTML by _omitting_ the version info.

For all current doctypes, however, there is a URIs that tells you 
which version that is being meant and so on.

There are some profile URIs that supposedly perform important 
functions as well. And there are others that are more 
informational/"validational".
